Natalie Field
About
Natalie Field (b.1982) is an artistic researcher and interdisciplinary artist from South Africa, with a core interest in sci-art. Her practice is situated in the field of Speculative Taxidermy, as she questions how man-made representations of, and cultural ideas about, the animal-other influences our ethical, social, and ecological behaviour towards the living world. She is passionate about the concept of One Health, bridging the gap between human health and that of the environment.
Field has a B.Tech Photography from Nelson Mandela University (South Africa, 2008) and Master of Fine Arts from Kunstakademiet i Trondheim (Norway, 2023). Her master's thesis, "Museum of Extinction: The Field Ornitohology Collection" has been published in the Finnish journal "Research in Arts and Education" in 2024.
Field has exhibited internationally at the National Museum of Wildlife Art (USA, 2023), K-U-K (NO, 2023), Rejmyre Art Lab (SE, 2022), Italgas Heritage Lab (IT, 2021), START Art Fair (UK, 2019), Berman Contemporary (ZA, 2018-2020), Arteles Creative Center (FI, 2016) and more. Field has been selected as a Creature Conserve Fellow for the period of 2024 – 2025.
