Fiber artist creating fairy tale installions

Emily Natchinson is a sculptural fibre artist who transforms spaces into other worldly installions. Her work involves materials such as wool, horn, papier-mâché, and feathers. She focuses on mythology and landscape, exploring how nature affects these stories. Through scale she pushes her work from illustrative into reality, creating unnerving atmospheres with sculptures mimicking geological growth beneath imposing tangled webs of fibre. She investigates the cultural creation of landscape. Emily Natchinsons work motivates my own practice in many ways, I want to explore the juxtaposition of nature the artificial and reality using fairy tale as my focus to creating 3d installations which Emily Nachinson also explores, which question our relationship to nature and reality.
