Natalie Taylor's interest in working with the natural environment stems from a love of nature generally, but more specifically in spending time observing seeds, tubers, bulbs and nuts germinating and growing into plants and trees. She is fascinated by this fundamental process occurring, most usually unobserved, silent, and unrecorded. Her desire to communicate this process and its relevance to modern man has informed a large body of work of 'living sculpture', that is, living plants used as a sculptural material.To document these sculptures, she also creates time-lapse films, botanical studies, and installations. As a freelance artist living and working in Scotland, she undertakes commissions, public art projects, education projects, and residencies.
