Ceramics & Craft Studio Sale 2023 | Daisy Tortuga

Tortuga's work tells a story of heartbreak, loneliness and acceptance of the things we cannot control. The unique feminine nature of tapestry and textiles tells the story of women through the ages. This work hopes to emote healing to the artist, and to the viewer - for them to relate to their own vulnerability and processing of turbulent emotions. A diary, a photograph, a conversation with a friend.

Tortuga’s work is filled with brutal honesty, wittiness and dark humour, with the rugs as intimate snapshots from her life. Difficult topics are made personal through Tortuga’s works, and also offers an insight to the emotional chaos spinning in a young adult's head, an echo of absurdity approaching from the abyss of every-day struggles.
