About this work

This image shows a grid of identical square tiles. Each tile has a simple design: a small circle at the top, a larger circle below it, and a few lines inside. The colors are mostly faded—light yellows, blues, and grays. The tiles are arranged neatly in rows and columns, like a wall or floor pattern. One odd thing is how the tiles look slightly worn, as if they’ve been used or walked on. The artist made this work in two different years, 1963 and 1967, but kept the design the same.
