Evidence of time and ephemerality are central within Nathalie de Briey's practice. These ideas have been explored through diverse approaches such as manufacturing ice which turns the viewer’s breath into visible frost on an object, putting wind into a gallery space, reconstructing vanished geological terraces out of rubber bands, and establishing a language between natural air phenomenon and air data from Antarctica.


The work is often made in situ responding to the viewer’s presence. Setting a dialogue between unrelated objects and moments, new associations are created connecting paradoxical qualities; some permanent and some ephemeral. In recent work, Nathalie has been looking at how human events are recorded through ephemeral actions.


Born in Brussels and living in Glasgow, since graduating in 1996 from the Master of Fine Art at The Glasgow School of Art, Nathalie has exhibited nationally and internationally. Recent projects include: Research residency in Hiroshima funded by the Scottish Arts Council (2008),Ground Temperature: 3000°c, Emerged, Berlin (2008), New Scots, Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh (2008), The Fleeting, Taigh Chearsabhagh, North Uist (2008), Posthumous Humus, A.Vermin project (2009) .


Nathalie has lectured in various art schools across the UK and abroad. She is a studio holder at Glasgow Sculpture Studios.
