"Through a day-to-day practice of observing, obsessing and playing I have come to pay attention to the more elusive aspects of my surroundings. Things that typically go unnoticed tend to shape and define my perception the most. I try to corral these things in my work, to set in motion a new type of space, and to give light to the emptiness.

As the days stack up and I cannot push back any longer, I recall a memory that may not have been noticed before. As it unfolds in my mind, I break away, stumbling headlong downhill. I land on a spot and begin to work, meandering towards the invisible line.

Over the past few years, my work has expanded from discrete landscape drawings to inflated, room-sized installations. The scale of my work has changed because my search continues. I try to make sense out of the vagaries of existence, and pull from the silent beauty of the world. " - Chris Natrop
