| | Sid Dickens Memory Blocks | | Sid Dickens Memory Blocks are handcrafted plaster tiles ingrained with symbloic meanings. These painted works depict fragments of life and history that take on new meanings within the context of individual homes. Memory Blocks are extremely collectable because several designs are retired every year. They work best displayed in wall-mounted collections, grouped by theme, meaning or color. For example, a collection of music-themed tiles look beautiful over a piano and a collection of fruits and flowers work well in a kitchen area. The tiles are also available in a scribe collection, allowing collectors to further personalize their own collections. |  |
