Cormorant Painting

Trained in woven textile design (Chelsea College of Arts, First Class BA(Hons) and MA Design (MMU), Natasha is an artist who lets thought dictate material meanderings. Primarily working with drawing and painting, she also uses sculpture, textiles, film and poetry depending on what the idea longs for. Playing with magic realism, she aims to capture the chaos and harmony that the act of living encapsulates. Testing the mind with new environments or states allows her to strip back the mind to starkness, and then fill it again with movement, colour and new realities. This interplay of naturalism and abstraction, interweaving personal mythologies and experiences all serve as a personal diary of understanding her place in reality. The transmittance of mental states and feelings of joy is clear in the work. The sharing of process is important as it is through these glimpses we see the magic of change and energy.
