Tamryn McDermott is a mixed media artist concentrating on fiber techniques and materials. McDermott’s work involves the process of investigating time and language through fragmentation, repetition and mutation. McDermott holds a BFA in Painting and Sculpture and a MA in Art History and Arts Administration from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. She is currently living and teaching in Alexandria, VA.
My recent body of work re-contextualizes fragments of Shakespeare’s Macbeth through repetition, transforming the experience of spoken text into a visual experience of unspoken language. Remaining are the atmosphere and implied meanings behind the words, although new meanings and associations arise. The process of deconstructing Shakespeare’s words allows me to dictate a new cadence, imbued with new meaning, still traceable back to its origins within the original script.
