(Washington, DC b. USA) Cheung’s work captures experience through time and movement onto the surface of a photographic medium. Each work manifests the physical expression and motion through a combination of natural occurrences and Cheung’s own gestures. Each of Cheung’s pieces begins with light and gesture. The expressive nature of her work translates as calm and contemplative and others as aggressive or panicked apprehension. The compositions of her work are a combination of the artists’ intervention and natural forces. Cheung’s works play off the rich history of the photographic medium and explores the push and pull between physical reality and captured reality. Natalie Cheung is a visual artist with a focus in cameraless photography. Her work contemplates the relevance of historical darkroom processes, and uses them to create contemporary artworks in an age of digital dominance. Natalie received her MFA in Photography from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and her BFA in Photography from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC. Her work has been featured in PetaPixel and Interlocutor Magazine.
