Natalie is always surrounded by tools and dust. Her work has been focused on inviting people in by building immersive environments. These spaces invite the viewer to participate in a temporary world, often through physical action. Natalie believes ‘Joy’ is the key to her work and more broadly, the art world too. Through joy, she invites people to engage with her pieces. Whoever you are, you are more than welcome to dance alone but it’s always better with others.
For Brainchild, Natalie is building Homage to the Playground, inspired by The Playground installation she assisted on last year. Taking some of the structural forms that existed in the previous work, she has entirely reinvented its purpose, transitioning from active play to playful rest in a series of colourful hammocks which hang from all angles. When you’re looking for somewhere to chill over the weekend, you can bet this will answer your prayers.
