| "Artist statement" |
What
are you doing, stop staring at a wall just because it says things and its in a
gallery, well I guess if you not going to leave it'll be your own fault, My
dilemma when creating work is I generally want to do everything and anything
and don't like sitting still or doing the same thing over and over, while this
makes it interesting as I create in a variety of mediums, it can make things
confusing with the questions being, so what are you doing this week? Or
remember that thing I did that you weren't there to see? And though I would
like to perform and entertain people 24/7. I have other things to do, so I have
produced an echo of my mind, a collection representing my own personal critique
of art. It is everything and nothing all at the same time. Presented using
humour and satire
about the art world, modern and contemporary art mainly focused on my own
experiences. I also feel humour is and important factor with in my practice. So
gather round, gather round ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, as I am proud
to present to you, for one week only, My art manifesto: Art, perception, the
world and Natalie, a real tangible thing that you can touch! And I guess you
can, if you really want to, just don't leave any marks or break anything, feel
the art and while your reading this, stood on the big "x" on the
floor, I'll be standing above you ready to drop water on you.... That was a
test to see who would look up. If you did well done on being cautious cause you
never know and if you didn't look well done for not believing something just
because it written on a gallery wall but I'll get you next time.

| this peice was interesting to create as i did not know what i was going to end up with i was in Paris and feeling art charged from all the museums so i got out some paper closed my eyes and created dots i then connected those dots and created what became the outline of the bird and part of the tree. it was an interesting challenge and something i enjoyed doing as it tested my creative ability to turn a random shape in to a actual thing |
