Tara is a Naarm based conceptual artist whose work offers a sublime interaction through clay. Harris’ work is an enquiry of language, materialising the experience of trauma and loss. Built from theoretical learnings and the immersive view as an Intensive Care Nurse and Art Therapist, her work reveals notions of presence and absence.
As a process based
practice Harris intuitively squeezes, pushes, pinches and stretches clay with
her hands alone, creating organic like forms. She welcomes the breaks, cracks
and surface hardenings that occur, as informative of when a work is complete.
