The Tile Game

A collection of unique clay tiles fashioned to create differently designed zen gardens.

The contained ponds can hold small amounts of water and there are various dimples across the tiles to hold marbles.

It can be interacted with as either a game or a meditation tool.

The meditation is to arrange the tiles as one wants, fill the ponds, and place the marbles around the garden.

The game is designed as a community work with two rules.

One: place one tile on the playing space, fill one pond, or place one marble.

Two: respect the choices of the players before you and leave everything in the playing space as it is.

All of these are designed based on asian styled architecture found through research or during Megan’s visit to China.

Clay, glaze, water, marbles, 2015-16.
