Tania Kovats: SEAMARKS

About Tania Kovats: SEAMARKS

Kovats presents the passing of time through the broken surface of the sea, the elemental rhythms of the moon and the meditative qualities of weaving and drawing. As the marks get smaller and closer towards the horizon they invoke a sense of infinity, exploring how art can speak to our critical climate emergency.

The artist has been collaborating closely with Dovecot’s Master Weavers since January to create and interpret her tapestry design. Hand-woven by four weavers, the work has taken four months to complete and measures 1.5 metres square. The tapestry’s incredible depth and texture has been achieved through the gradation of tone towards the light of the horizon and by combining the properties of different yarns.

British born artist, Tania Kovats, makes drawings, sculpture, and large-scale projects that explore our experience of the natural world. Her work includes Tree, an installation for the Natural History Museum London; WELL, a drinking water fountain created for Fruitmarket; and Rivers, a large-scale sculpture at Jupiter Artland near Edinburgh. She is the University of Dundee’s Professor of Drawing and Making.
