Tai Snaith - Artist, author, broadcaster

‘I have a deep love of gardening and have always been enthralled by the Heide garden, since I was a child. My work responds to both the organic, nurturing utopian nature of Sunday’s dream, but also the dark underside of complicated relationships, shame, and ephemerality.’

Made during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, this wearable vessel references one of the unique ceramics created by Tai for her Impossible Bouquet series, exhibited as a contemporary intervention in the exhibition House of Ideas: Cynthia Reed’s Studio. In Tai’s words, these works ‘tell both a story of our current unprecedented times and connect them to the dark domestic history of Heide’.
