Tatiana Potts is native of Slovakia and has been living in the USA for the past fifteen years. The exhibit “Tajtania” culminates Potts’ completion of her MFA degree from the University of Tennessee where she has studied studio arts within the UTK Printmaking program. For Potts, the opportunity to live, travel and study in different places has provided her with a wide range of perspectives and informs her ideas about artmaking. After arriving to the United States, she became especially interested in architecture and the built environment. For this exhibition, she created an imaginary world that merges these different experiences. The work represents the essence of a city that will never be built and has the potential of continuous change. Constructed entirely out of paper, the work of this exhibit will amaze you in its complexity reminiscent of origami paper folding. Potts provides us with a glimpse of how a city (her city) using architectural details is created from paper.
