Kasia Tatys
Kasia’s practice investigates time, space and ontology, as a means to explore the existential truths of belonging, memory and identity. Her drawings utilise the ephemeral processes of creation and erasure, negotiating connections between memory and flora in the context of immigration and displacement. Plants act as signifiers for collective and intergenerational memories, testifying the lived, living and potential connections to our ancestry and heritage.
Only by understanding these traces across time and space, can we begin to answer questions about our own ontological being. Kasia’s intimate enquiry, through observational drawing therefore, aims to explore the micro-connections that define us as human beings; living symbiotically with our ecosystems.
IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE
WE WERE READY TO FL E E T –
ATTACHED TO THE [home, other] SOIL,
IN DENIAL OF
REALITY.
ALWAYS READY.
ALWAYS AWAITING.
WE BUILT OURSELF
OUR OWN TASTE OF [HOME]land
OUR OWN SENSE OF [BE]LONGING,
.here.
amongst
THE UNFAMILIARITY
OF A NEW PLACE.
WE CREATED OUR OWN
PIECE OF SOIL,
OUR CORNER OF THE WORLD
[UNLIKE, incomparable, EXCLUSIVE].
OUR SHELTER.
OUR SAFETY NET.
OUR LITTLE [piece of] POLAND [home].
THE [im]POSSIBLE FUTUREs PAST.
IN MY MIND
I WAS RETURNING HOME
CROSSING THAT BORDER.
ON THE VERGE

-----
WHAT COULD HAVE
BEEN,
WHAT SHOULD HAVE
BEEN,
BUT WHAT IF?
IT WAS simply A REMINDER OF
THE PLACE
I CALL HOME?
THE [home, other, now]
THE PLACE
WE SO CAREFULLY
[re]built
DISPLACED FROM ITS
NOURISHING past?
EVERY TIME CROSSING
FELT LIKE [re]CONNECTING WITH
my alternative selves.
[ascending and descending] LONGING OF SOME OTHER me LOST, WHO LIVES HER LIFE AND CONNECTS FROM // A DIFFERENT//
