Natasa Kokic’s recent works are inspired by nature and its symbolism in contemporary culture. Her drawings show fictional landscapes, devoid of any visible impact left by people, with indeterminate seasons or times of day. She focuses on the notion of inner landscape, the place we all carry inside of us. It is a place where everything starts and ends and its shape depends on our social circumstances, the places where we grew up and people around us. Her latest series of charcoal drawings use images from the history and science. Here Kokic is trying to tell a slightly different story where man-made landscapes, asteroids and computers have their own separate lives and meanings, but connect with one another through the same background, coming from the same place.
