Tara is a modern quilt artist and designer with a preference for using recycled materials.

She is particularly conscious that, in most communities, textile art or craft is seen as women’s work and is – perhaps as a consequence – largely undervalued. Her current practice is an exploration of this, as well as the tensions between textile art and a crafts-based production practice; between corporate work and working as a maker and the personal consequences of that in a western capitalist society; as well as what those choices mean for the wider physical environment.

Tara Glastonbury - I would be art

I would be art

Retail Price: NFS
Dimensions: 140 x 60cm (H x W)
Statement:  2019 marked the Bauhaus school’s 100th anniversary, where, believing women weren’t capable of thinking in three dimensions they learnt crafts. Today galleries still show more male artists; in textiles a man’s work is considered art, a woman’s, craft. I would be art – if I were made by a man.
Exhibitions:
 Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award 2019 (acquired as part of permanent collection)

 

Tara Glastonbury - Off the Rails

Off the rails

Retail Price: A$520
Dimensions: 54 x 45cm (H x W)
Statement:  Made from leftover secondhand shirts from another quilt – the plackets called to be a rails quilt. Increasingly I am drawn to using upcycled fabric, when it takes 20,000 litres of water to produce a kilogram of cotton and 39 million tonnes of textile waste is discarded each year.
Exhibitions:
QuiltCon 2020

What’s your time worth?

Retail Price: A$1850
Dimensions: 140 x 60cm (H x W)
Statement:  This work is based on the background pattern of an Australian $50 note and is a meditation on surviving as an artist in a country where the median income for those working on their practice full time is about a third less than Australia’s minimum wage.
Exhibitions:
Art Quilt Australia 2017, Buda Contemporary Textiles Exhibition and Quiltcon 2018

What’s your time worth? Tara Glastonbury
