Natalie Willow Boterman is a full time dreamer mainly working in expanded cinema, experimental film, and media archaeology. Mediums of video, film, installation, performative action and social engagement all serve as initial threads of exploration within the larger context of her work. Boterman describes her working methods as intermedia based moving “fluidly between as many different mediums possible, without making any of them a permanent resting place.” This allows her to avoid the problems of a media specific rhetoric and opens up her processes to the potentials inherent in possibility and chance operations.

Vancouver born and a citizen of the world, Boterman is currently in her hometown of Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her educational background includes an Interdisciplinary BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in 2011, an MFA in 2015 from École Cantonale d’art du Valais, Sierre, Switzerland, a year in Paris on exchange at École Nationale Superieure de Beaux-Arts, and a mentorship with Visual Arts Nova Scotia. Boterman has exhibited and screened her work across Canada and Europe and has to date been awarded several well established residencies in Canada, Finland, Spain, and Switzerland. In the spring of 2014, Boterman founded GOOD WORK, an international project centered on self organization and the dissemination of art.
