Natalie Sharp: SPUME
Depth. Horizontalism. Infinite unique experience possibilities.
SPUME by Natalie Sharp is the culmination of Natalie’s time as a 2024/25 Artist in Residence at The Glasshouse. It’s an immersive installation where each audience member will get something different out of the experience.
SPUME is about:
Horizontalism , deep listening, Greek siren mythology through a matriarchal lens, interconnecting edge-lines of humans with the coastline, tactile and bone conduction transducers, summoning and becoming, refracting and reflecting water mirrors lying horizontally underneath an infinite sea canopy and intersectional environmentalism.
But most of all, it’s about communion.
