These new tiles are from the new series Fin de Siecle. Images appropriated from the history of photography are layered onto the antique tiles in combination with vintage wallpaper patterns.
The tiles are currently on display at ShopSCAD. From the artist statement:
Meryl Truett’s new mixed media series is a postmodern homage to turn of the century Pictorialist photographers and the decorative arts. Appropriating the images of Clarence White, Robert Demachy, E.J. Constant Puyo, Heinrich Beck, and Wilhelm von Gloeden, Truett’s photo transfers incorporate ceiling tiles from the era and vintage wallpaper designs.
They will be available in the Etsy store shortly!

This slideshow was included in the presentation You Can’t Get There From Here, presented by Meryl Truett and Rebecca Nolan at the Society for Photographic Education’s national conference in Dallas, TX in March 2009. The theme of the conference was “Sprawl,” a concept explored in Truett’s project Vernacular Highway.
View the video on YouTube.
Also check out this video of the Picturing the Beltline exhibition, taken during Atlanta Celebrates Photopgraphy 2008.
And finally, view this video of Truett’s work at the Telfair Museum-Jepson Center for the Arts in Savannah.
