Natalie
Taylor is an artist who has been incorporating living plants into mechanical
or systematic structures since 1998. Often the works are kinetic, powered
by the plants themselves. Sometimes purpose-built greenhouse structures
house the slowly evolving and developing pieces.
More recently she
has been creating large -scale growing artworks for outdoor sites,
both in Edinburgh and Finland. Time-based aspects of her work include
live piano performances of music fashioned from Mustard seed formations
and a slow motion film of the seeds growing into musical compositions.
She has exhibited
in Norway, France, Germany, Spain, USA, and Scotland.
She lives in Edinburgh and teaches Sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art.
