Nathalie Coste

A joyous Vison of Apocalypse,

Nathalie Coste (b. in 1967, in Marseilles France) is a French Textile artist and Sculptor

based in London.

Coste work is about the End of this World as we knew it and how this peculiar moment in the history of humanity is challenging our adaptability and model our creativity through moving Aesthetics’ boarders.
Coste practice is led by her Academic knowledges in textile design accumulated over years of exploration in Fashion Industry and craft from 1993 until 2013, when she decides to turn her practice toward sculpture, using recycled materials and Low technology. She uses her multiple skills in embroidery, pattern cutting, moulage, to create volumes of psychedelic and ghostly shapes that she draws first in small notebooks used as diaries. She is setting her sculptures in Sci-FI inspired digital backgrounds. She also includes electronic devices as stock exchange LED boards or recycled car parts in her installations.
