Tanya Lyons



<<< Previous



In her current body of work, Tanya Lyons continues to explore the interplay between the inanimate and the organic. Brilliantly sculpting delicately woven mesh into life size dresses and kimonos, she skillfully entwines the strength and richness of glass with elements of nature to create extraordinary works of beauty and grace. “Clothing can be a shell or a shield, drawing in or pushing away those who surround us.” The life size glass dresses range from free standing to wall pieces that hang and float in space. Each work reflects the multitude of style, personality and emotions clothing projects and creates.
