Using materials to convey points of human experience; presenting the low value, everyday in a transformed state, to simultaneously instigate associations and interpretations.

Naty Lopez-Holguin is a Spanish-born artist based in Portsmouth, whose practice focuses on material transformation, using the everyday to convey points of human experience, creating sculptures as both singular entities and multiple elements in installations

For the last 10 years, she has been mainly working with tumble-dryer fluff – a commonly discarded material full of associations. On the one hand, it did once belong to a garment which clothed us, gave us warmth and protection from exposure. On the other hand, it is now no more than a nuisance blocking the filter …

The often wall-mounted sculptures explore issues of worth and value through labour-intensive processes and the use of everyday materials which are often dismissed, while navigating a feel for space or lack of it.
