Tamsin

Grainger

I am a Zen practitioner of walking, art, care, and movement. Returning to the now, to this moment, creates the immediacy of my solo work, collaborative practice, and advocacy. By paying attention with touch and my other senses, I engage in discovery and transformation for myself and others. I am interested in the balance between separation and unity through making art, writing about landscape, working with death and loss, and walking. This yin/yang exchange of individuality and community connection is a repeating motif. My aim is to work with respect, integrity and honesty. I am based in Edinburgh, UK.
