| ‘SALT’ will present the latest works by Nathalie, based on a creative process that involved exploring sculptural dimensions of functional objects, be it bowls, vases or candelabras. Nathalie was keen to trust the flow in the crafting of each piece, to explore all the sculptural possibilities. The collection appears to emerge from the depths of the sea and the natural world. |
| The creation of each unique piece, with no two alike, involved peeling back and molding layers of clay, and fusing two seemingly contrasting elements, speaking volumes based on the setting they are in. With ‘SALT’, the works resemble fairytale bodies, presenting an enchanted story of functional pieces, where guests are a part of the storytelling process. |
