Tamara "Solem" Al-Issa is a Toronto based artist and ceramicist who's upcoming show "The Character Series" opens January 29th at Cry Baby Gallery. Tamara sat down with us to discuss bar hopping with 22 year olds, seasonal depression, seeing Toronto through someone else's eyes, gin shots, the Wade lofts, home renovations, landlords installing speakers into walls to evict tenants, living with a rat for eight months, working from home, her studio doubling as a showroom, her 'blue period', quitting her day job, selling out, micro celebrities, navigating brand partnerships as an artist, light sculptures, the stick-and-poke to ceramicist pipeline, her 14 foot tall Christmas tree, going viral on YouTube in 2008, never deleting things off the internet, her unreleased album, the comments section and more!
