Nat Sharp is a multidisciplinary artist whose project, SPUME, redefines the intersection of art, ecology, and disability. Based in Cumbria, Sharp utilizes the radical act of lying down horizontally to symbolize a deep symbiosis between the coastal landscape and their Seychellois heritage.
This deliberate posture serves as both an aesthetic choice and a form of resistance against ableism, protecting Sharp’s health while challenging conventional performance norms. By transitioning into installation and audiovisual art, Sharp creates inclusive, liminal spaces that mirror the tides. Ultimately, SPUME acts as a transformative catalyst, inviting audiences to rethink their relationship with nature, identity, and accessibility.
