Natasha Kerr uses old photos from her own family album and combines them with vintage fabrics and trims to create a distinctive brand of recycled textile art.

The stories embedded in both the black and white/sepia images, and the fabrics she uses, give Natasha’s work a depth that is very appealing to the viewer, and can trigger an emotional response.

In 1998, Natasha’s work took over an entire Victorian townhouse in Battersea, London; the teaming of an historical venue with a multi-sensual experience gave the artist’s work a contextual setting that was both moving and uncomfortable. Aptly named, “There are things you don’t need to know,” the exhibition painted a poignant picture of family life through the ages.

In recent years, Natasha has been taking commissions to create works that tell the stories of families other than her own.
