Artist’s Profile – Arts Gowanus

Artist Statement: Traci Talasco creates interactive installations that use architecture as a social / political space addressing female identity and power imbalances. Fragmented walls, floors, and interior spaces are stripped of their intended function in absurd and playful ways. Talasco uses ordinary home construction materials and decorative elements, such as plywood, wallpaper, carpeting, and furniture. As part of her working process she makes models and drawings for larger scale installations. She also uses writing as a springboard for her ideas, or she starts with a material that she is attracted to and works with its inherent associations.
