Tara Drummie is a British German artist, photographer and filmmaker based in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Drummie graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a First-Class Honours and won the university’s respected Sustainability Prize in 2021. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, print and press, including Dezeen. Drummie’s medium is flexible and honest to her subject matter, with a focus on existing symbiotically with the people, places and environments that she inhabits. This includes exploring fun and accessible forms of making, from her construction of camera obscuras utilising site-specific materials, to plant based darkroom printing.
