Artist Statement
Natalie Ciccoricco’s mixed media collages are original,
analog works that mainly consist of embroidery thread
and found images, which she uses to weave together
new narratives on paper. By re-using old materials, it is
her hope to give them a new life and meaning. For her
artworks, Natalie draws inspiration from the American
landscape, dreams, nature, arts, literature and her travels.
