Tabaton-Osbourne

Tabaton-Osbourne lives and works in Carrara. Her work is rooted in traditional techniques. She is interested in exploring the difficulties and dialogues that arise from cultural contamination and her artistic practice is expressed mainly through sculpture and drawing, with a particular focus on experimentation with traditional materials and techniques such as mosaic and carving.  Her work often grapples with themes such as hybridization, alienation, and socio-cultural otherness.

Materials and shapes become memories of places of belonging and she uses them to speak of nostalgia, tradition, rituals and memory within an increasingly hybrid society; using artisanal processes to create dialogues with the past and grapple with feelings of alienation in a globalized society.
