~the white thing~

It is the first time, that I am sharing the process of creating an artwork. Until now, I have been quite shy to do it. Anyway, for the next few days, I will post the evolution of a new artwork that I am creating. What is it? I decided to answer for a competition title ‘nomadic’. I felt instantly attract by the word, so much descriptive of my way of life. Since, I decided to create a strong body of work, back in 2005, I practice art wherever I live, from temporary domestic space to hotel rooms. Create artwork out of my art space studio is now part of the process. It helps me to be more independent of things. I mean, travelling with a minimum of stuffs like clothes and beauty products, including art supplies. Some of my work used objects that you can buy at your local supermarket. For this one, it is what I did. The included picture is a white fabric that I just cut out. At the beginning, I was thinking tents to answer to the project. It was too obvious and the pictures that I have in my mind will take weeks to do it without my sewing-machine. So, one morning, as I was doing my shopping at the groceries store, I got this idea ~the white thing~.

See you tomorrow, as I am working on it!

Hi Nathalie,

this is my first participation on the blog. I was very intrigued by your image (I do moon abstracts) and thus was drawn to your ‘white thing’.
Interesting idea and beautiful result!

Thanks Mika for your comment. Sorry, I didn’t see your post before today. I am pretty new to blog on NBA. Anyway. I wrote a new post with the completed piece, today. I am glad you love it! Also, I just visited your website and our works are quite related in some ways. That’s interesting! Often, after working on colored artworks, the last one ‘pixels’ (still in progress), I have a time of quietness which calls monochromatic works.
