39. Natasja van Wyk

Mixed Media | Textiles | Sculpture

Natasja van Wyk is a mixed-media artist whose practice weaves textiles, sculpture, and painting into tactile explorations of memory, ecology, and the body.

Drawing on craft traditions and experimental processes, her work transforms humble materials into resonant forms that question fragility, resilience, and the entanglement of personal and collective histories.

Step into a welcoming, creative space alive with colour, fabric, and sculpture in progress. Visitors can see ideas unfolding on tables and walls, share conversations about process, and experience the joy and mess of making. It’s a chance to witness art in motion and feel part of the journey from material to meaning.

"I create art because I need to give shape to pain, resilience, and the silent battles I carry in my heart and body. My practice is both healing and protest: a way to confront violence, honour survival, and spark conversations we are often asked to silence."
