Tamsin Cunningham
Tamsin Ghislaine Cunningham is an architect, artist, writer, co-director of the Tayos art project and co-founder of the Open Close arts collective with Eileen Hall. She lives and works on the west coast of Scotland.
Tamsin’s art and writing centres around meditations on landscapes, relationships and sensory experience of place; explorations of the idea that by noticing more in the world around us we can understand better not only ourselves but the patterns, processes and beliefs that shape our lives.
In her architecture work Tamsin is a Senior Associate at WT Architecture; an award-winning architecture studio working on buildings addressing themes of community, belonging and connection to landscape.
Alongside Eileen Hall, Tamsin developed the Tayos project and the Open Close collective before it, as a way of examining how a multi-disciplinary collaboration involving artists, architects, musicians, designers, social geographers, sociologists and neuroscientists might inform the re-imagining of both natural and human landscapes and the vital role that creative re-imaging can have in protecting our environments.
