capturing time and place in mixed media
‘In love’ and inspired by the ever changing weather, light and colour of the landscape surrounding her, Tamsin Gilham uses inks and relief printing techniques in her artwork. Being an obsessive collector of shore treasure, each piece is overprinted with a natural element growing or found at the time the painting was created; sometimes barnacles or seaweed, sometimes gorse or fern. This gives her work an additional provenance but also a pattern-like quality.
The date of painting is torn from the weekly Ross-shire Journal and is incorporated into the work. This same paper is often collaged onto the paintings, creating texture with the printed words telling ‘tales’ of this wonderful part of the world.
We are delighted to welcome Tamsin to Alchemist Gallery in 2025, showing jointly with Aimee Coushedfrom 29th May to 15th July.
