6" x 6"
6x6 Coming & Going is based on Charley Harper's larger illustration, 'Once There Was a Field,' created in 1974 to accompany an article of the same name published in Ranger Rick. We love the artist's description of a busy, blooming field teeming with life:
'It was a wondrous world. Birds. Blooms. Bugs. Butterflies. A breeze. Bees buzzing inside buttercups. A bluebird, killdeer and quail chasing grasshoppers on a glorious morning among morning glories. The sounds are long past hearing. The scents are past savoring. The sights are past seeing, but live forever in a picture.'
— Charley Harper (1922–2007)
- Motawi tiles are striking art pieces and installation accents. Each tile is made by hand and with heart in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We embrace variation and handmade beauty: Our time-honored methods produce a nuanced range of color with depth and translucence.
- Actual Tile Size: Approximately 5 7/8” x 5 7/8”. As each Motawi tile is crafted by hand, dimensions may vary slightly by up to 1/16".
- Tiles are 5/8" thick and have a notch at the back for hanging.
Motawi Tileworks was founded in 1992 by Nawal Motawi, who started making tiles in her garage and selling them at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market next to the rutabaga sellers. Nawal's motto: It's fun to be good! (at what you do)
