Unmapped Exhibition

Unmapped explores how imagination can transform the familiar into the unfamiliar. Tara Harris creates imagined landscapes shaped by memory, emotion and fragments of places we recognise. Working with paint, she layers, scrapes and erases the surface, allowing forms and landscapes to emerge and dissolve. The paintings exist between remembered places and imagined worlds, inviting us to question how we see, remember and experience place. “An evocative painter, Tara Harris conjures up otherworldly landscapes and seascapes which are lined with memories.” — Ruth Millington, art writer and curator About the Artist Tara Harris is a Birmingham-based contemporary painter who returned to painting full-time in 2024 after a long break. With a background in Fine Art and printmaking, her practice explores memory, place, transformation and the relationship between humans and the natural world. Her work has been exhibited across the UK, including galleries and exhibitions in Birmingham, London and beyond
