In researching and appropriating cultural iconography, Tannaz Farsi utilizes non-linear narratives to create installations that focus on the gaze of the individual and its spatial location. Working with air, objects, and the image, she negotiates the invisibility of perception to create installations that encompass a sense of longing. Her work has been acknowledged with such awards as research grants for travel in China and Japan including an upcoming residency at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Nebraska. She has exhibited nationally with upcoming solo shows at The Baron and Ellin Gordon Galleries (Norfolk, VA) and Delaware Center for Contemporary Art (Wilmington, DE). Farsi received her BFA summa cum laude from West Virginia University (2004) and her MFA at Ohio University (2007).
