VITAL MATERIALITY

Tatt’s 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.

Tatts is an emerging contemporary ceramic artist, living and working on stolen Wurundjeri Land and has worked extensively in the art industry since the age of 14.

Born in Central Victoria then later moving to Naarm, in late childhood she was diagnosed with apophenia, a condition where the brain has the inclination to perceive patterns and connection in everyday object. Tatts finds intense visual relationships with patterns found in her environment and 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.

Tatts is completing a Bachelor of Fine Art, (Ceramics) in 2023 where she was the Ceramic Association President. She works and mentors at the Montsalvat Art Colony.
