American Natasha Bowdoin is very fond of reading. And then, impressed by the books she read, she inspiredly embodies her understanding of the text in large-scale, voluminous, multi-layered and very fragile wall sculptures made of paper.
Installations by Natasha Boudin are almost always paper painted in several colors, many layers and letters - cut out or drawn in pencil. According to the author, she deliberately avoids works of small size, since they seem to her rather simply decorative than carrying any meaning. In small works it is difficult to see the details, while in her installations the letters are quite distinct and you can even try to put them into words and phrases.
Natasha Boudin says that she loves her creative process so much that she would like the work on this or that work to never end. And although these words look more like a joke, there is still some truth in them: even finished and completed works after a while again end up in Natasha's hands in order to be supplemented and redone.
Natasha Bowdeen was born in 1981 in West Kennebank (Maine, USA). He currently lives and works in Houston. In addition to the USA, her work could be seen at exhibitions in Rome, where Natasha lived while studying at the Tyler School of Art.

And you shouldn't blame him for untidiness: the reason why the letter was written crosswise is rather sympathetic, even if it is known that Jane Austen and Charles Darwin once resorted to this method, being perfectly aware of the fact that they are violating some rules of etiquette
