Light on Brick, Paint on Cream
Then the light's gone over the fence to someone else's garden, And the flowers stand there in the blue, keeping the colour to themselves Last Light I've been building a series of pages where the computer generates the pattern: tin-glazed tiles painted by rule , then cut tile and poured cement , heraldry , knotwork and, last time, a piece that breaks another piece . They've been travelling round…
Sebka, a pattern found on Mudéjar towers in Spain, is a simple rule used to create a lozenge grid. By shrinking each lozenge by the width of the band, scalloping its sides with lobes, and cutting it out of a brick face to make an opening, a lattice of rhombi is formed with scalloped sides. The bottom row of the lattice features the same shape with its lower half dropped down to the imposts, creating a net that ends on a row of marble colonnettes.
Fajalauza, on the other hand, is a tile wall located in Granada, Spain. It showcases a cream tin glaze with copper green and cobalt blue applied thickly, featuring repeated motifs such as pomegranates, birds, and branches. Unlike Sebka, Fajalauza does not have any lighting effects and relies solely on flat color and glaze to convey its aesthetic.
