Melbourne Contemporary Art Fair
February 2024
A suite of tapestries from the series Breathe was featured alongside a large bronze. The artwork referenced colour field painting through a unique style of weaving and knotting. Each tapestry was hand-framed in brass. The bronze work was an exciting interpretation that translated the detail of the textiles, including knots, and echoed the organic quality of the original textile it was cast from, which was lost in the process.
With the works in this show, Tammy was the recipient of the Richard Parker Award, with a focus on excellence. The Richard Parker Award was a new initiative supporting development in the arts.
