Tamlin Blake (born 1974) is a South African mixed media artist living and working in Riebeeck West. The major themes of Blake's work revolve around cross-cultural South African symbols of wealth and status and, more recently, what constitutes and underpins each individuals sense of belonging.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tamlinblake.com/profile.html )〕 Her sculptural pieces often transcend boundaries between illustration, craft, and art, using weaving, beading, and drawing, amongst other media.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artthrob.co.za/Listings/2012/03/Tamlin-Blake-at-Spier-Wine-Estate-in--March-2012.aspx )〕 The main body of Blake's beaded art works took the form of South African stamps finely woven using glass seed beads.〔http://www.ava.co.za/journey-change-of-address-wildenboer/〕〔http://www.iol.co.za/capetimes/sa-beadwork-has-post-office-stamp-of-approval-1.1423825#.UM6_peTqnW8〕 “By replicating these original stamps in a traditional craft idiom that has such a strong association with indigenous African cultures , Blake offers a genteel but acerbic reference to (Africa’s ) troubled past.” (Innes 2012: pg20 ISBN 978-0-620-52880-1). While working on her own bead art Blake helped (Jeanetta Blignaut ), to establish a bead studio which today exists as the (Qubeka Bead Studio ), a collaborative owned by the bead artists themselves. After this Tamlin used a variety of different media including three-dimensional pieces in felt and beads to explore the use of farm animals as valued commodities and symbols of wealth and status across the boundaries of race and culture.〔http://bell-roberts.com/?exhibition=104〕〔http://www.blankprojects.com/0510-blake.php〕 Blake's more recent work consists of tapestries woven out of recycled and hand-spun newspaper 〔http://www.tamlinblake.com/newspaper-tapestries.html〕〔http://www.spier.co.za/news/tamlin_blake_tapestries/〕 a collection of which were bought by The Spier Holdings Contemporary Art Collection 〔http://www.jeanettablignaut.com/key-artworks-by-tamlin-blake-and-conrad-botes-were-acquired-by-spier/〕 ==Career== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tamlin Blake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
