Story Tiles

Once upon a time, there was Marga Van Oers, a designer who reinvented Dutch tile art and its narrative pattern tradition. A clever collages of cut-up old photos and traditional decor, subtle combinations of pastel colors, the miniature scenes of Story Tiles suggest more than they tell. The surreal combination of its animal and child-like figures in a geometric composition, sends us back to a fantastic, storytelling time space. What is the motive? To go back in time and revisit our dreams, find the fantasy of our childhood through these fairy tales images.
