Born to an American father and Indian mother, and raised in Indonesia, Tara Peckham’s multi-layered cultural identity deeply informs the fluidity with which they move through their life and their work. As such, the artist blurs the lines between the self and the other, finding home in a state of having departed, but not yet having arrived. In blending reality and fantasy, structure and play, sensuality and intimacy, sensory memories and dreams, Tara’s practice becomes an act of self-analysis and meditation. The journeys embodied in leaving and returning, deconstructing and reconstructing, reflecting and contradicting are a constant thread through the evolution of each work.
