Description
Family Tree (#223) reminds us that at one point or another, family calls us home, and that our family is in our blood, in our love, and in the people we choose to be around. This piece features a tree with deep roots hand illustration with the inspiring quote: “Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.” – Anthony Brandt (quote begins on left side and finishes on right – author noted on top). Crafted by Houston Llew, this hand-enameled glass-on-copper artwork serves as both a decorative treasure and a source of daily inspiration.
Artist Statement: When we’re young, family is all we have to start out. They are our first connection, settled deep within our bones, and firmly imprinted upon our memory. As we grow through childhood, family can bother us, embarrass, annoy. We yearn to pull away and become independent, wanting to be known as “our own thing.” And perhaps we do. But during this journey, at one point or another, family calls us home, not just physically, but to bond again with our first connection. In the midst of this reconnection, we discover that our home is in multiple hearts, as we find that our family is in our blood, in our love, and in the people we choose to be around.

Every box will also include a brochure of all active tiles currently available in the collection. They can hang on a wall or stand alone, and will never fade or tarnish.
