Tamar Hadechian is a Lebanese /Armenian multidisciplinary self-taught artist; born in 1969, likes to describe her work as dialogue with earthenware, using her fingers as unique tools, tactile and primitive. Her modus operandi is a continuous and holistic exploration of the haptic and its transversely linking the different facets of our experience.
Her project consists of Ceramic/Earthenware pieces made from different types of clay using intuitive free style hand-building technique.
The focus is on the dynamic in symbiosis with the clay’s rhythms, like a conversation with the material itself narrating emotional states.
The vulnerability of her art works transcends their visual beauty into the cathartic power they hold.
