About
At just 24 years old, Tattss is already underway to becoming an unmissable figure in the Australian ceramics community.
Born in Central Victoria then later moving to Naarm, Melbourne; in late childhood Tattss was found to see through apophenia, a tendency to where the brain has an inclination to perceive patterns and connection in everyday objects.
By finding intense visual relationships with patterns found in her environment, this connection inspires her art practice. She has continued to develop not only technique, but the action of evoking story and kinship between medium, artist and viewer.
Artist Statement
Tattss' interest in New Materialist theories informs the technique of assembling multiple porcelain tesserae or cut and refined ceramic tiles. The physicality of individual assemblage of tesserae creates abstract forms of balance and precarity, layers, stacks, pattern and negative spaces. Using hyper focusing as a perceptive and making strategy, concentrating on the individual tesserae tile she considers their relationship and action with other objects and the surrounding environment.
