Intertwined
This original collection of plaster tapestries explores the relationship between the material, form and craft. Italian plaster is seen traditionally to be a coating material to decorate and protect walls. It is not expected to take any other creative form. By treating it as a textile, Tanya Vacarda gives the plaster pliability and the independence to take on new and surprising shapes. Once fragile and vulnerable, the material transforms, offering new expressive possibilities.
