Tammy Kanat

Tammy Kanat is a Melbourne-based fibre artist and weaver whose practice investigates colour, rhythm and balance. Having begun her career in the arts as a jewellery designer Kanat repurposes her understanding of harmony, colour and form into wool, silk and yarn. She approaches each work with a sense of curiosity and playfulness; allowing her intuition to guide her through each colour choice and each warp and weft. Her approach to weaving is intuitive and rhythmic, never forced, premeditated or contrived, thus imbuing a sense of body and rhythm into each work.

Artist Profile

PROCESS

Kanat’s practice is informed by her curiosity, wants and her willingness to experiment. Her work is constantly in flux; an unfolding narrative before her. Expanding over a range of formats, Kanat’s intricate and vibrant pieces flow between squares & rectangles and ovals & circles.

“I often find it's not until the work has finished, that I think, oh, that's what came out. That's what that may have been.”
