Tamsin van Essen is a ceramicist, potter and sculptor based in London.[1] Her first exhibition was at Galerie Vernon in Prague in 2008.[2]
For an exhibition about skin at the Wellcome Collection, she produced a series of apothecary's jars which illustrated the nature of skin conditions such as psoriasis.[3] The jars are now on permanent display as "Medical Heirlooms" in Wellcome's Being Human gallery.[4][5] In her Erosion series of works, she continued the biomedical theme, using a sandblasting technique to portray the effects of bacteria and viruses.[6]
