The Tiffany One-Cuts

Series of 'one-cut' newspaper collages excised as one piece from the New York Times

8.5 x 11 inches. (2013- 2017 )

solo exhibition

Songs for Presidents NY NY

January 8- February 14 2016
curated by Charles Goldman

"The Tiffany One-Cuts are Liotta's third series of collage works that stem directly from her daily movements through the New York Times. These simple "one-cut" framings of opposites and the frictions between them point to the inherent tensions found within the relationship between documented, the documenter and their audience. Liotta's explorations, on paper and in celluloid, concerns the politics of the cut. ... A simple edit, such as he one Liotta performs with the One-Cuts, is simultaneously aesthetic, narrative and political." -Charles Goldman

Tempr (l-lV) 2014/15

A set of sumi ink drawings made onto transparency for projection and performance.

Unique, dimensions variable.

The practice of forming the enso with a single brushstroke is zen. From heavenly body to existential void to our finite and beleagured planet here at the brink of the Anthropocene.

Fiske Planetarium, Boulder Colorado, April 2014

In framing NOAA’s hard facts by J.G. Ballard’s scenario in The Drowned World, Liotta suggests that wrapping one’s head around climate change requires visionary speculation as much as scientific observation."Max Goldberg, SFAQ Magazine 2014
