A primal desire of man is the imaginative impulse…to visit strange regions in search of beauty, awe or terror as the actual world does not supply. – C.S. Lewis, Of Other Worlds. Fairy Tale within Fiber installation Art, Sustainability, Design and Nature

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.
