Tamasine Osher on the work

A study of degradation in nature. Revealing the beauty in decay.

Each unique piece in the Blight collection, foraged from forest and field, has been carefully chosen for the remarkable features created during its deterioration. Guided by these features, the material and the form, Tamasine removes and adds with intention using handcrafts such as carving, hollowing, turning, burning and finishing. The addition of a foreign element or a light source is used to highlight particular forms or create tension and reaction.
