Dedicated to celebrating beauty in the unexpected, Melbourne-based artist and designer TARMI is creating inspirational stories through her refreshing and elevated mixed media work.
Delving into art couture, sustainable fashion and painting, TARMI’s visionary, handcrafted collections highlight unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are both storytelling and cool elegance.
With nature as a key symbolic part of her work, TARMI’s Mycelium Collection is a flow of nature’s divine textures, tones and patterns, allowing the naked eye to see how the environment harmoniously coexists.
Mycelium Wearable Art Piece - The Collection Inspiration
As the inspiration for the collection and fashion pieces thereafter, The original Mycelium art piece characterises the powerful partnership between a Silver Birch Tree and Mycelium, who share nutrients and support each other to survive.
This original piece was the inspiration behind the collection, characterising each unique piece inside. TARMI’s passion for showcasing sustainable and local fashion is evident, equipping each collection piece with powerful environmental messages, a strong manufacturing philosophy, and considered, unique designs.
“Nature’s ability to reclaim the man-made and create bonds to live in a symbiotic relationship has made me want to bring that into the way I design, live and interact,” TARMI says.
TARMI’s synonymous use of reclaimed and sustainable materials with the collection mimics her passion for the earth, with gentler manufacturing techniques a key to her devotion of sustainability and kinship with Mother Nature.
Within the collection, TARMI’s artistic expression is depicted, showcasing powerful and daily, average human experiences, where she explores the relationship with the model, following musical rhythms and energies to create her wet-on-wet style artworks.
With an intimate passion and understanding for sustainability and creativity, TARMI has made it her life’s mission to share this with others through unique modern flows of expression.
