Tamsyn Trevorrow - Open Studios

Sculptural Ceramic's inspired by the interaction of land and sea.
Work comprises of large outdoor sculptures, smaller interior pieces and jewellery.

Tamsyn’s work explores the material effects of time on the natural world, in particular the interaction between land and sea and the ever changing landscape of these liminal spaces. Tamsyn uses colour, form and texture to transmute the temporal into experience. The beautiful and rugged landscape surrounded by coastline of Cornwall, as well as the Cornish mines, mine deposits and boat/shipwrecks, all offer a rich source of inspiration. Their structures and weathered and corroded textures are reflected in the construction of my clay forms.

With Cornish ancestry Tamsyn returned to live and work in west Cornwall, after extended periods of time in Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Working, studying and teaching in potteries across these countries gave her a new languages of construction and sculpture, as well as recognising the universality of symbols such as the spiral.

The spiral represents movement and regeneration, she is drawn to the shape, the form of a shell or the curl of a wave, both hold within them the spiral. The land and sea with its wealth of colour and endless energy and how the movement of water obeys the same harmonics which conditions the growth of shells. This simple yet powerful movement flows within parts of her work adding different dimensions, as does the smooth slick of colour to the otherwise rugged and weathered exterior.

All work will be either inside or outside in the garden.
