Operation Sandcastle ²⁰¹⁷

Tamara Van San predominantly works with clay. The interplay between the capricious shapes and the coloured glaze evokes an illusion of movement – as if she is sculpting with colour. In this way, she creates objects that are neither figurative, nor entirely abstract or geometric. They cannot be captured in language; nor can they be reduced to an artistic movement. They communicate without words, are open to various interpretations, and find a home in our imagination.
