Tamara “Solem” Al-Issa is a Syrian/Filipina Toronto-based sculptural artist with a focus on conveying preservation of time. Each piece is made with reverence toward the traditional materials and methods used by her ancestors. Her primary medium is hand-building and wheel-throwing clay, exploring themes of process vs outcome and contemporary characteristics ascribed to classical pottery. She is currently focusing on developing/applying intense hues of solid primary colours to ceramic, as well as hand-building ceramic light sculptures.
