interview

I am so excited to share with you an interview about my work for Pikaland. About one month ago, Amy, the founder of Pikaland, a blog focusing on art & illustration, invited me for an interview. It was a really interesting experience to answer all her questions. It helped me to sit back and thought about my works. It was the perfect time to write about it. I love her introduction, it is so sweet and she is right, I experiment with various materials. I cannot choose only one. As my work is still growing, I am interested to see what it will become in the upcoming years. Here it is: http://pikaland.com/2010/07/29/artist-interview-nathalie-chikhi

Hi Nathalie,

I just read the interview – already there are so many references to follow up and things to search out, which will lead to more. I really enjoyed your commentary on the piece Intrinsic and its connection to tumbleweed in Hitchcock- there is something so disturbing, in the careful arrangement in a square, of objects which seem invested with tension – it’s odd also as they are associated with nothing going on. Also your comments on Emroglio. I have a funny feeling sometimes that it does not matter what you do in life, many avenues may take you to a familiar corridor, and I don’t mean to refer to fate but somehow to Attitude.

Throughout the interview your sheer energy really comes through. It also made me realise once again quite how successful the piece Emptiness is. Thank you for this. The sketchbooks available on your artist page are beautiful and endearing. I hope you get to make the bronze sculpture this year. And if you ever need an assistant…

Hello Soraya,
Thanks again for your comment. It was a real work to prepare this interview & I am happy to share my thoughts and work process. I am glad that the viewer got some clues which help him to understand the work. Yes, I wish that I will find the budget to create the bronze. The permanent studio and assistants should follow ;-)

Love reading your blog posts. Please can you write some more. It’s always cool to hear what artists think of how people represent them. It’s good that you liked how she introduces you. Sometimes people get it all wrong!
