Tamar Mason @ Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

Tamar Mason’s practice encompasses textiles, sculpture, ceramics and architecture. The artist’s choice of media, traditionally associated with women’s work, ornament, and domesticity, confronts perceived divisions between art and craft, and allows Mason to integrate artistic practices more closely into daily life. Her work further explores the intersections of male and female, urban and rural, Western and African, traditional and contemporary. Mason draws on the geography and history of South Africa, where she was born, incorporating personal experience and broader cultural narratives into her work.
