Memory Blocks are hand crafted plaster, 6" x 8" x 1 1/4", finished to a porcelain-like
quality, cracked to create an aged look and feel.
Sid Dickens' work is produced by a group of 30 young emerging artists in a studio
space in Vancouver, Canada. Each Memory Blocks is hand poured hydrostone
plaster, all tiles are hand painted (the Iron Series requires 3 coats), silver and gold
leafing is done by hand, and finally the Memory Blocks are hand stained. We
consider each Memory Block a piece of art, there are over 5 people that do work on
each one of them. There are many copies on the market, which have the look of
being mass produced, as most of them are. The hours of work that go into creating
each Memory Block make them each an individual collectible treasure.
Sid Dickens Memory Blocks are best displayed in wall-mounted groupings. The size
of the groupings is unlimited. One prominent collector displays 80 Memory Blocks in
the foyer of her home. You can start with a single tile and build your collection
according to your budget. Unlike static works like paintings, Sid Dickens Memory
Blocks can be grouped in many arrangements of different sizes, shapes and
sequences. As your decorating needs, feelings and moods change, your display can
also change.
These Memory Blocks provide an affordable way of decorating your home with hand
crafted original works of art at a starting price far below that of posters, prints or
paintings.
No framing or installation costs are required. Only the simplest measurements are
necessary. Each Memory Block back has been finished with an angled aperture. All
you need to do is position a small tack, screw or nail in the wall and hang the tile. No
additional supports, braces or mounts are necessary. Any individual can hang them.
