Ceramic colour tiles, York Art Gallery

“Mere colour, unspoiled by meaning … can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” Oscar Wilde

These tiles, displayed by the window in the ceramics gallery, glowing in the sun, are a reminder not only of the versatility of pottery colouring, but also how impervious they are to natural light. There’s no artist or maker’s name mentioned in the interpretation – simply an invitation to take notice of the range of colours and the variations in tone and texture. A treat!
