Pieces of Corsicana

Corsicana is a small, all-american town situated an hour from Dallas. It was the first oil town of Texas and therefore has a wealthy past. Since then it shrunk considerably but has defiantly remained a proud slice of Texan/American culture. The patterns of Corsicana project took notice to the ubiquitous hexagonal tiles seen throughout the town. From the floors of the greasy local diner, modern domestic bathrooms, old jail houses and the dirt covered remnants of the demolished swimming baths. Through the variety of arrangements of these tiles we see simple and ornate patterns, we notice the fashions of eras change and the transition of Corsicana from its oil boom to its current sleepy life.
