I found her work striking and a unique way of using textiles.
Tamsin works by repetition, inspired by everyday things: road markings, signs, buildings and landscapes, she manipulates materials with the idea of making textures and surfaces appear different to what they actually are.
This is a piece she did for the school, which is fascinating, it appears she has entrapped fibers in what appears to be cling film, its very striking.
I love this effect, simply done by wrapping wool around twigs.
she nestles her work into square blocks of wood to keep it contained and neat
wrapping of material
This is amazing! You wouldn't think they were fabric at all from the photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the last one where she has simply just wrapped the fabric. Simple, but effective, sometimes this can work for the best! I suppose it may have taken a while to dye and capture all those diiferent colours though!
ReplyDeleteThis work is amazing, how on earth does she make it appear to be made of hard reflective surfaces, or organic shapes? It is different to most work I have seen. I would like to see how she produces it. Her photgraphs are very good also, I imagine she spends a lot of time planning the shots. I am getting the message from the artist we have been collecting that their best work is "simple". So they spend effort on the making not the stuggling with impossible complexities.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good point. That it's the simple things which are most effective rather than getting bogged down in trying to be innovative, they just get on and do it...
