About
Living in close proximity to the precious wilderness of Tasmania, nature serves as a constant source of inspiration for my work. I am deeply moved by the intricate shapes and textures that exist within the natural world, especially the intertidal zone as well as the interconnected relationships that sustain life on our planet.
As a metalsmith, I am particularly drawn to the traditional techniques of my craft, which allow me to explore the materiality of metal and translate my impressions of nature into tangible forms.
Through my work, I hope to inspire others to appreciate the delicate balance of our environment and to take action to preserve and protect it for future generations.
ABOUT US
Immigrating to lutruwita/Tasmania in 2001,
Nataša Milenović, a German-trained goldsmith, intertwines environmental consciousness into her craft, drawing inspiration from textures, repetitive patterns, and symbiotic relationships.
Employing traditional techniques such as cold forging, hand fabricating, and soldering, she delves into material exploration, using patinas to express themes of transformation and ephemerality.
Honoured with funding from Duisburg Gesellschaft (1999) for an internship, Regional Art Tasmania (2005) for workshops and travelling solo show, and support from the Australian Council of the Arts (2006) for new work, Nataša has exhibited in nationwide solo and group exhibitions.
In 2023, she expanded her influence globally, showcasing at Contemporania, Barcelona, while unwaveringly upholding her dedication to craftsmanship, nature, and artistic expression.
