Changing Seasons l Hand Tufted Rugs

Tamika Grant-Iramu is a Meanjin/Brisbane-based artist who incorporates organic patterns and imagery though the medium of relief print carving techniques. Tamika’s practice focuses on native and introduced flora, and highlights the minute details in nature that are so often unnoticed.

Through her creative practice, Tamika explores her identity, seeking ways to connect with the different threads of her Papua New Guinean, European and Torres Strait Islander heritage. Tamika’s unique artistic style brings together diverse communities of people, and through this collection aims to highlight the rug as the celebratory heart of a gathering.

“Changing Seasons” celebrates the Jacaranda and Royal Poinciana trees. These trees, with contrasting coloured flowers, blanket the city in blooms of purple and red during the spring/early summer respectively, evoking anticipation for the peak summer season.
