Tanya’s practice in 3D design evolved from a background in textiles and physical theatre. Tactile and bionomic forms made mostly from rescued wood, bone and fibres and is reflective of the immersive experience of gathering and making in the wilds. 

Her making is a series of gestures, weaving stories between presence and absence.
