Nathalie De Briey |
Nathalie’s work investigates ephemerality and touch; exploring these ideas through diverse approaches such as using freezing elements which turn the viewer’s breath into visible frost on an object, putting wind into a gallery space, reconstructing vanished geological terraces out of rubber bands, and investigating a language between natural air phenomenon and air data from Antarctica. The work is often made in situ responding to the viewer’s presence. Setting a dialogue between unrelated objects and moments, the work creates new associations connecting paradoxical qualities; some permanent and some ephemeral. In the context of Consequences the film works, Moment and The Forest is the best place are used as an interlude between the film work by other artists. Both pieces are silent and study the point at which one is mesmerized by a moment. Through slow movement and looping, the films explore the trust and touch that each subject puts in one another. Nathalie’s work engages with diverse practices and she has collaborated with a variety of practitioners from visual artists to a composer, an opera singer, a sound artist based in Antarctica as well as refrigeration engineers. Nathalie shows her work nationally and internationally working across the media of installation, drawing, book works and video work. Born in Brussels, Nathalie now lives in Glasgow as well as continuing to develop her art practice Nathalie lectures in Fine Art at the University of Cumbria. |
