Natalie Collette Wood “Natural Phenomenon”

Andrew Freedman Home

This event has ended.

The Andrew Freedman Home presents Natural Phenomenon, Natalie Collette Wood’s second solo exhibition at the Andrew Freedman Home.

NATURAL PHENOMENON presents a two-part exhibition investigating the intimate relationship between home, nature, and spiritual environments through painting, collage, sculpture, and outdoor installation. Natural disasters, climate change, and the sublime force that is nature present a starting point from where the work departs. Futuristic universes are created first through drawings and collages and then transformed into large-scale mix media paintings and installations. Rooted in a dialog between alternate realities that reorient our understanding of the world around us, the work is inspired by the natural world, magic, and extra-sensory perception to create new worlds that are falling apart through their own facades.
