Rainbow chakra Installation: Red Lightning
Hannah Natali has designed and installed ethereal sanctuary installations for the past 10 years at the Burning Man international art festival and lead teams of up to 20 people for build. In her three years as lead designer for Red Lightning, she installed a custom structure of 7 sacred tipis and the main stage featuring daily programming with 8 chakra altars, each tipi providing a brilliant rainbow of color therapy corresponding to a specific energy center in the body. Awarded "Best Camp Design" two years in a row by the BM org.
Cosmic Heart Temple Installation: Camp Mystic
Hannah Natali lead the design and install for Cosmic Heart temple, a 700 sq ft sanctuary pop-up space combining biomimicry, natural artifacts and fabrication technology using CNC and lasers to reflect the theme of iRobot. Every detail was intentionally designed and curated featuring 8 artists work - hand-painted art altars, a flower of life tea bar, moroccan stage, and entry-way portal with interactive Olivia Steele mirrorbox and prayer flags, where visitors were invited to write messages to the collective heart.
Love Languages Sculpture: Burning Man, 1440 Multiversity
Designed as a gift of love to the playa, this larger-than-life faceted heart of iridescent plexiglass is simultaneously transparent as glass while casting a bright pink or green iridescent shadow on the ground beneath it. Surrounding the heart are laser-cut steel hearts with which you can stand on, each with the name of the 5 love languages - touch, words, time, gifts, and service. After bringing the Love Languages art piece to burning man, it was invited to join the campus of 1440 Multiversity, where it is permanently placed as a legacy artwork.
Mind, Body, Soul - Crystal Pyramid Sculpture Installation & Performance: Art Basel Miami
The 3 sided copper pyramid sculpture and installation hand-fabricated by Hannah Natali represents the mind, body soul connection. The sculpture featured a large quartz above and black tourmaline suspended from a hand-made copper chain from the center. Upon inviting the viewer inside the pyramid, the black tourmaline was removed and handed to the viewer, who was guided into a crystal healing and meditation. Juxtapozed with the hustle and bustle of Art Basel at the Superfine art fair, the intention of this piece was to bring a sense of calm in the chaos.
In partnership with the World Bird Sanctuary, Hannah Natali fundraised to sponsor the life of a living owl through their adopt-a-bird program, who appeared live at Art Basel along with bird trainer Python Paige as part of the live installation. In addition to the installation, on the opening night Hannah collaborated with artists Diana Garcia, Maggie McCloud and designer Michelle Herbert on a live embodiment performance art piece to embody aspects of the mind, body and soul.
