Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record.
In this episode Korynn calls Brisbane-based artist Tammy Whitworth, known for her extraordinarily intricate and illusionary miniature oil paintings that explore our connection to nature, energy and the universe. Tammy is currently showing alongside Zoe Sernack in Unearthed at Brenda Colahan Fine Art in Redfern, Sydney, closing August 25th. The surprise topic: what the vulnerability of exhibiting your work has taught you about yourself as an artist.
Tammy's paintings are unlike almost anything else in the Australian art landscape. Working at a scale so small and so precise that viewers press their noses up against them at openings, each tiny work asks something profound of the people who stand in front of it, to slow down, pull their energy back in, and get quiet. Which is exactly what this conversation does too.
In this warm honest conversation two artists talk about the vulnerability of sending your work out into the world after a year of working alone, why motherhood sent Tammy's paintings smaller and smaller until she realised that was exactly right, the painting called Unconditional and the extraordinary story of Charlotte the sheep, angel signs feathers and magpies and visions that come true, why your work requires the viewer to come home to themselves, creative boundaries and going into surgery, raising strong willed children while protecting sacred studio time, and what it would look like if art could wake people up to their own exponential potential.
Unearthed closes August 25th at Brenda Colahan Fine Art, Redfern Sydney. Go and ask Brenda for the magnifying glass.
