About Natalie Piazza

My work addresses the experience of nature in combination with the human condition. I feel that human beings are disconnected from their roots in nature; creating intricate homes, cities, and technology to civilize themselves, separating us from animals. When I make work, I try to bring back nature and the power it holds back into awareness, meditating on the fact that we are not separate from nature--that it is constantly in and around us.

I prefer to work with clay because I am connected directly to the medium by my hands. I have to work with basic elements--clay, water, fire and salt--to create permanent object. I find joy and relief in the experience, and it provides to me a spiritual and meditative outlet.
