Heather Tazza

Art is the Only Luxury that Matters

TAZZA is an artist and world-builder whose practice transforms spaces, objects, and moments into living works of art.

Rooted in the collages she began making as a child, her work has evolved into large-scale compositions, immersive installations, and spatial environments that collapse the boundaries between art, fashion, architecture, and lived experience. Using cultural imagery as raw material, she constructs visual worlds that examine identity, memory, and authorship through accumulation, contrast, and scale. Her work treats the everyday and the iconic with equal weight, collapsing distinctions between high and low culture.

Her recent exhibition, CONTENTS MAY VARY, debuted as a five-week installation at Ace Hotel New York and introduced Collective Consciousness — a durational, audience-built collage work exploring shared authorship and participation. She is also the co-founder of Propaganda Atlanta, a 1970s-inspired speakeasy conceived as an ongoing art experiment, where nightlife becomes installation and cultural commentary unfolds in real time.

In 2025, her wedding, Bride, Interrupted, was conceived as a site-responsive installation — merging fashion, performance, ritual, and spatial design into a single cultural moment.

A graduate of FIT (SUNY) with a background in fashion and product design, TAZZA has collaborated with institutions and fashion houses including Vogue, Ralph Lauren, Zac Posen, and Proenza Schouler. Her work is guided by an intuitive philosophy shaped by years of meditation, material study, and gemology, reflecting an obsession with precision, rarity, and light.

Based between New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, her practice continues to expand internationally, reimagining what it means to not only view art, but to enter it, inhabit it, and live inside it.
