Natasha Ber is a Melbourne artist working predominantly in portraiture and still life. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Deakin university and has been a finalist of numerous prizes in Australia.
In her latest series "Innocence to Sin", Natasha was exploring psychology of dreams. "I often dream of being devoured by forces of nature, swallowed by a vicious wave or sucked into the ground among the tree branches and leaves, becoming a part of the surroundings. Dying or transforming?
The bird eye view is suggestive of lucid dreaming in which a person is aware of the fact of dreaming and can take control of their action, characters and narratives. The bed cover and a cushion as well as a bed head serve as grounding elements that carry on the important sense of reality."
