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.
