Using
light
as
a
material
in
her
photo-based
sculptures
and
installations,
Natalie
Hunter
explores
the
relationship
between
memory
and
physical
space.
For
this
body
of
work,
Hunter
photographed
windows
in
familiar
rooms
of
her
childhood
home,
revealing
intimate
interiors
that
frame
views
of
the
external
world.
Using
vibrant
colour
filters
in
her
process,
Hunter
layers
multiple
exposures
taken
minutes
or
hours
apart,
and
prints
on
transparent
and
translucent
films
that
she
hangs,
ripples,
and
drapes
to
interact
with
architectural
and
ambient
characteristics
of
the
exhibition
space.
Luminous
and
transient,
the
viewer’s
experience
of
the
works
shifts
with
subtle
changes
in
light
and
environment.
Alluding
to
enduring
routines
and
the
passage
of
time,
these
works,
as
Hunter
describes,
“touch
on
how
traces
of
our
interior,
most
private
spaces
linger
in
our
minds
long
after
we’ve
left
them
behind.”
