Artist Statement: Natalie Moore is a photographer and is currently creating images of clothing. Her work addresses the idea that memories are held and buried within the clothing folds, shapes, patterns and history. By using articles of clothing found at thrift stores and flea markets, she links her attraction to a particular fabric or garment to a memory she wants, wanted or will create. "Every photograph I take is a self-portrait, and many times I have to ask myself how that image is a part of me."

Artist Statement: Currently I am exploring a variety of themes in my work to try to look at things in a new way ... from a different point of view. As an artist, I am taking this opportunity to explore and use a number of different materials and topics in order to uncover my voice. I work in pencil and pen on paper as well as acrylic on canvas and on paper with collage. Sometimes I use objects and figures in my work and at other times my paintings and drawings are completely abstract. My paintings range from tiny (one inch square) to as large as twelve feet.

Exhibition Dates:
