Working as a fibre and paper artist her practice evolves around the transformation of observed, collected and found visual material, unearthed from natural forms/formations, vegetation, landscapes, and from fragments and changing images of these landscapes.

She has been working with natural plant fibres (cotton, abaca, esparto, bamboo, rush, straw, grass…etc), handmade papers, raw silk fibres, textiles and found objects (old fabrics, lace, shells, soil…) for the past twelve years. She also combines recycled, re-used materials with techniques of painting and dyeing – through an exciting and experimental process of layering and sculpting fibres.

While the Studio is no longer operating from its premises in Thomastown, Tunde continues organizing an exstensive programme of specialized art workshops and courses for adults and children in other studios and arts venues in Ireland.
The workshops are facilitated by professional, established artists, for small groups with a strong focus on experimental learning – on a variety of mediums and techniques: Hand Papermaking, Silk Fibre Paper Making, Experimental Textile Art, Printmaking Techniques (Dry point and Carborundum) and Batik. Courses are available for beginners and for those with previous experience or with their own artistic practice, and in most cases can be tailored for the needs of the participants.

The KOZO ART CLUB – an ongoing arts programme for children from 5 to 12 years of age – also continues at The Watergarden Gallery, Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny.
For updates on these programmes please check out the Courses and Workshops page on this site.

KOZO Studio and Gallery will also continue to organize visual art exhibitions in the future, featuring contemporary art works and individually designed pieces by national and international artists and makers working in various mediums and contexts.
