Tamara Russell is a Textile Artist based in Melbourne specialising in free machine embroidery, hand stitching, and mending. Tamara graduated RMIT with a Certificate IV in Small Business Management. In her textile practice, she explores her surroundings, interpreting what she sees in embroidery. Tamara uses hand and machine stitching with found materials in her practice engaging with the environment and recreating images and shapes in her embroidered works in 2 and 3D form. Textiles are the perfect medium for expressing her thoughts with her work often portraying social issues.
