Drawing attention to cyclical processes, Tamara Henderson’s Eye in the High reveals humanity’s intervention in global patterns of decomposition, regeneration and metamorphosis, and how such human interactions can accelerate and destabilize the delicate balance required to sustain earthly life as we know it. In an age saturated by the digital, Henderson’s work brings us back into materials – to the analogue and hand-made, to process and experimentation – giving rise to a distinctive artistic language and an animistic worldview. She explores how we are implicated in wider cosmologies that relate us to this planet and to the universe.
