A pioneer in design materials, Rich Moorhead was the first to bring recycled skateboards to vertical surfaces in the form of wall-tile. Organizing the riot of colors and levels of distress became his craft. “I discovered a recipe of balance” , as he sifted through absolute randomness to create his mosaics. Almost audible stories were told in every scratch, scrape and break, making him a curator of experiences and expression one broken-skateboard at a time.
In his digital wall covering collaboration with US Vinyl, Rich expands upon his original concept, this time obsessed with the drastic and colorful fractures of a once ridden skateboard. “Fractures are a part of life, in nature and even relationships”. Enhancing and manipulating these splintered imperfections would carve his path forward, showcasing structural weakness as a design strength.
