Dawn Bassett: Pushing Tadelakt Plaster to the Next Level
View through Artsy
Dawn Bassett is something of an outlier in the world of fine art. She didn’t have any artists in her family; she grew up far from any town in the mountains where a career in the arts was as close as a walk on the moon. She didn’t go to art school; and she didn’t chart an immediate path into a career in fine art. But since childhood, Dawn’s vivid mindscape and ability to create with her hands what those visions entailed, has been core to her very existence.
