Neisha Crosland
Faceted Relief Tile Africa B
This sculptural tile presents a faceted geometric composition, where angular planes intersect with carved linear detailing to create a powerful play of shadow and depth. A triangular frame encloses the central field, while diagonally scored surfaces and leaf-like incisions introduce rhythm and variation within the structure.

Earth shaped into movement.


Every line is cut by hand into raw clay before firing, giving the surface a quiet irregularity that speaks of true craftsmanship. The geometry feels deliberate yet organic - precise, but never mechanical.


Fired using traditional Tierra Negra methods, the tile develops the collection’s signature black satin finish. Subtle undertones of bronze, charcoal and deep earth emerge in changing light, enhancing the relief and giving the piece a softly iridescent quality.


Rooted in a 700-year-old pottery tradition once used for domestic vessels, this tile reinterprets ancient craft as architectural sculpture.


Primitive technique.
Modern presence.
Clay elevated to art.
