Featured Artist: Chris Natrop

Cut paper with watercolor, glitter and magic string; cut acrylic sheet; HD video projection...how to you even begin a project like this. As explained by the MOCA:
In And Further the dew drop Falls, los Angeles-based artist Chris natrop uses cut paper to transform MoCA’s galleries into a mesmerizing environment of freeform patterns that evoke nature and landscape. the show’s title, like the artist’s inventive process, reflects his interest in the concept of something emerging out of nothing. the artist uses the cycle and development of dew as an underlying metaphor for this new body of work. “water evaporates into the air and thencondenses as dewdrops, only to be evaporated again,” natrop states. In some areas of the exhibition light projections of water drops slowly descend the museum walls and are layered atop the artist’s organic cut-outs.
I wonder if this installation artist teaches classes. So hard to choose my favorite pieces so check out the website.
