TATOO



PORTICO



TILES



Here is a Polynesian surfer tatoo found in Kauai. After Drawing and painting and cutting the blocks for prototypes, I suddenly flashed on the meaning: It is the rain forest and the waves from the surfer's point of view! In Bologna, Italy, cool shade is provided by many kilometers of porticos separating streets from building facades. The pattern of dark and light repeats the arches. Terra cotta tiles in the ancient Etrucan forms of traga (flat) and copa (half round) create a shadowed spear-like shape as they meet at the edge of a roof.
