Tahiti Pehrson (b. 1972)
Born in Santa Rosa, California, Tahiti Pehrson spent his childhood in the small historic gold mining town of Nevada City, located two hours northeast of San Francisco. Raised in a family of artists, he attended the San Francisco Art Institute before leaving to explore his own voice through street art. The art of stencil-making for street pieces quickly evolved into his highly detailed practice of hand-cutting two and three-dimensional sculptures using 100% cotton rag paper. The artist has been successfully working with the medium for over 15 years. Though immediately assumed to be executed using the help of a laser cutter, all of the artist’s work is created using a number thirteen Exacto-blade.
