Natasha Townsend - Chromatic Contructs

An Exploration of Shape, Colour and Composition

In Chromatic Constructs: An Exploration of Shape, Colour, and Composition, Natasha explores the dynamic between geometric structure and vibrant hues. This series of six wood wall sculptures highlights her fascination with the interaction of colour and form. Each piece is meticulously crafted from wood—cut, milled, and painted by hand—to turn digital designs into physical art. The hands-on approach often yields unexpected outcomes, showcasing an organic evolution from her initial digital concepts. Natasha’s deep appreciation for colour theory and geometric design shines through in this collection, reflecting her ongoing dialogue between design, fine art, and craft. The exhibition underscores her skill for blending technical expertise with creative exploration, resulting in visually striking pieces that celebrate the elegance of geometric simplicity and chromatic contrast.

Currently, she leads a creative team in Orange, managing major design and communication projects. When she's not fulfilling her role as Chief Snack Officer at home, Natasha is busy developing websites and crafting brand identities at work. In her spare time, she enjoys experimenting with timber and paint in her shed, exploring shape, composition, and colour. Natasha's creative journey was shaped by her studies at university and her time as a Senior Creative at a Sydney design agency. Drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus and Swiss Design movements, she blends design, fine art, and craft. Her evolving process reflects this intersection, as she continually experiments with function, materials, and colour.
