Well alright, technically all sentient beings make cells, but Natalie makes them from felt and PVC and stitching.

There’s something very modern and stylish about them. And also something slightly fetishistic.

It’s great work, from a technical perspective the work in stitching the cells together is commendable. It will be interesting to see what she comes up with next.
