Francesca Tata

Francesca Tata (b.1996) is a multidisciplinary Italian visual artist resident in Scotland. Her
work derives from the artist’s transfiguration of dreams and mnemonic interpretation of
forms and figures, recalling her present-past experiences and symbols absorbed since
childhood.
Familia Familiar goes back to personal family structure and development, where she finds order
in the chaotic and polluted memories of the past, by extracting the rawness of reality and
working through synthesis. Understanding the complications of adulthood by tracking
down the deeper meanings of being, as result of years of development in a specific set, with
specific settings.
As an Ode to her family and upbringing, the visual project reconnects to the simplified
familiar settings, by extracting the mantric and cathartic memory of actions from the joyful
childhood games played at the family run knitwear factory.
The tread becomes the connecting link, symbolically charged and omnipresent in the
space, it bounces between the re-winded orderly and the knotted chaotic, crossing through
a variety of mediums and transforming the composed objects into the interlinked
experiential space.
The artwork takes shape in the form of etchings, oil paintings, metal work, fabric
work, woodwork, sounds, videos, memorabilia, to name a few.
The painterly work, accompanies the installation as
narrative element, one of the many mediums which embodies the artist's thrive in collaborating with her child self.
