Through her tactile and otherworldly art, Nathalie explores the complex relationship between life, ageing, and the societal constructs of perfection.
By mending, meshing, and tethering discarded fabric, broken shells, and worn threads, Nathalie invites the viewer to consider ideas relating to deterioration and renewal – both in the natural landscape and the human form.
Delicate offcuts, fabric decoupage, and embroidered webs are layered with tangled wire, broken nets, and ripped silks to encourage a conceptual dialogue between the dichotomies of perfect and imperfect – whatever these mean.
The result is a flight of whimsy and non-judgmental joy, a playful exchange of old and new, where fragments, debris, and weathered materials combine and flow to become a force for change and re-evaluation.
Nathalie lives and works in East Sussex, where she regularly exhibits. Over the past few years, her work has been shown in London, Rome, and Portugal.
