Artwork Description

This artwork is inspired by watching the sun set over Sydney Harbour this artwork reflects the different experiences of time faced while watching a sunset.

Deliberate and controlled hand sewing is used, mirroring the act of waiting patiently whilst fleeting spray paint is used to capture those rapid moments the sky lights up in colour before it slips below the horizon.
Brought together the subtle texture of the thread interacts with the painted surface, shifting the way light is perceived depending on the viewer’s angle. This changing surface encourages movement around the artwork, so that the experience of the sunset is not fixed but altering.

Artist Bio

Driven by a deep love of travel and discovery, Tarli draws creative inspiration from her surroundings—both built and natural. Her intuitive approach allows her to reimagine these environments through simplified lines, bold color palettes, layered textures, and intricate patterns, blurring the lines between abstraction and representation.

Her practice is defined by a striking contrast in materials. Tarli combines the immediacy of spray paint and acrylics with the slow, tactile process of hand sewing. This juxtaposition not only highlights the tension between speed and craft but also introduces a rich, textural dimension to her pieces.

Creativity has been a lifelong pursuit for Tarli. Growing up with a mother who is also an artist, she spent countless hours in the studio experimenting with various materials and techniques—an early immersion that continues to shape her innovative and exploratory practice today.
