Biography:
Nathalie Kertesz Maor lives and works in Spain and Jerusalem.
Both artist and architect, her works concern poetic conditions of power and time, and are often sourced from materials that allow for manipulation and transformation.
Her creative process consists of disassembling tactile and mundane material and its reconstruction as relic, one which is reactivated in the urban setting within which it is placed, through new aspects of scale and context. Her textile works expand the act of drawing as her sculptural works leak out of the studio and gallery space and into the public sphere, while other forms of interventions react directly on material.
