Sid Dickens Inc. is a Canadian design and manufacturing company renowned for its craftsmanship and unique decorative tiles named Memory Blocks. The brand's backbone is an extensive line of 6” x 8” plaster tiles, finished to porcelain-like quality with a crackle effect or alternatively in weathered stone that combine stylish historical motifs with the finest materials and detailing.
Artist and designer Sid Dickens founded his eponymous brand in Vancouver in 1994 after experimenting with different techniques and discovering a unique new product.
"I started assembling small pieces together and marrying many different ideas into one piece - like a very versatile jigsaw puzzle - with the purpose of achieving a more accessible and affordable way to bring art into peoples's homes."
"Through arrangement, super imposing, embossing, blurring, layering... I reanimate the two dimensional world and make it three dimensional again, bringing places, times, faces and feelings to a tactile reality."
