As an immigrant to the UK and a natural observer, she feels highly responsive to the contradictions of everyday life.   Her uncertain questioning of diverse thematic concepts is a tactic for working through the problems she encounters, incorporating performance, sculpture and installation utilising found, altered and constructed elements.   Tyson is drawn to dualities and incongruities.
