Natalie Krick (b. 1986 Portland Oregon) is a Seattle based interdisciplinary artist whose work investigates the medium of photography, visual perception and pleasure through a feminist lens. Using layered illusions and abstractions, Krick subverts the photographic cliches that have long been used to reduce the femme into an easily consumable image. Working with collage, appropriated imagery and staged photographs, she constructs visual puzzles to complicate the act of looking.
Krick is a full time lecturer in Interdisciplinary Visual Art at the School of Art + Art History + Design at University of Washington. She is also part of a collaborative team with Kelli Connell called o_ Man which reimagines Edward Steichen’s oeuvre and his subsequent influence on the photographic medium and the history of photography.
Krick is self-represented and welcomes inquiries about sales and assignments.
