Artists statement
Natalie Thomas's practice equally engages with consumerist and popular culture. Paying homage to Jeff Koon's 'Puppy' (1992), Thomas uses tiny shells to cover a plaster spaniel, creating a fur effect and referencing her childhood in Queensland.
Artist Bio
Melbourne-based artist Natalie Thomas has a diverse practice that ranges over graphic and mixed-media works, performance and more, with storytelling and writing increasingly central. Between 1999 and 2005, she was part of the dynamic duo nat&ali, and more recently, her ratbag critique of mass media and contemporary culture is assembled and accessed through her online social archive, Natty Solo.
