TATTS’ 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, Tatts considers their relationship and action with other objects and the surrounding environment. In late childhood Tatts was diagnosed with apophenia, a condition where the brain has the inclination to perceive patterns and connection in everyday object. Tatts has continued to develop not only technique but the action of evoking story and kinship between medium, artist and viewer.

ANNA PARSONS is a ceramicist, working intuitively, finding clay as a receptive medium to express herself. Anna often incorporates additions such as volcanic rock from the bush around where she lives. Anna's practice took many years of experimentation of temperature and clay body to get these results - she fires her work numerous times, sometimes up to 5 firings to get the desired effects. Anna majored in sculpture at  BA Sydney College of the Arts and now lives in Rosebank, NSW.

Clay receives me

Weaving instinctively

Bouncing Off

My inner psychology

Materiality, chemistry, bodily

I cast shadows
