Nathalie Chikhi

STATEMENT

In most of my work, the materials used are modest and raw. I am also interested in the repetitive process and randomness. I alternate between long process buildings and short creative work. The art objects are the result of profound self-exploration, the experimentation of new mediums and a need to escape from linear actions. My keywords are exploration, surprise, temporality, contemplation and examination.
