Natalie Shaw

Artist Statement

In response to our addiction to instant gratification, Natalie explores the fragility of things half-formed and the role our patience plays in their survival. By suspending unhurried forms in great expanse, she refocuses our attention to the in-between.

Structurally dismantled and collaged with embryonic paint skins, the work invites us to witness to different stages of growth as they unfold. With organic shapes taking on human qualities, Shaw presents this work as a dialogue on shared vulnerability, the power of process, and the state of being free.
