Camilla Bliss: Guardian Tassels

The concept of care and wellbeing is a recurrent theme in Bliss’s work. The ‘Guardian Tassel’ is inspired by different symbols and objects that are placed around the home for protection that can be found within many cultures across the globe. The Guardian faces that look outwards from the tassel are there to protect the spirits of those around it.
