Daisy Tortuga is a multi disciplinary artist working mainly in tufted rugs and ceramic. She combines cathartic meaningful ideas with handmade tangible objects, discussing ideas of female identity, childhood nostalgia and the ready made. There are elements of storytelling in Daisy’s work, her work is a means of processing and understanding the chaos of life and in doing so, healing. The work has a strong visual language blending humour with the dark absurdity of everyday life and a strong sense of childhood wonder. Graduated from Kingston School of Art BA illustration.
Daisy’s work spans across many disciplines, including large pieces that are made for the gallery, over to delicate table ware made for the home.
