Tamar Mason @ Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

In new embroidered works, Tamar Mason explores the complexity of rural life in South Africa, intertwining human and environmental concerns. Focused primarily on the history and landscapes of Mpumalanga, Mason’s home province, her works consider the impact of failing government services on local communities and the natural environment. They address enduring legacies of exploitation, championing the resilience, strength and diversity of those living in areas that are disproportionately affected by political corruption and ecological crisis.
