​Narelle Dore is based in London and works across site-responsive installation, paper and textile. Her practice is material-led, using natural elements not just as mediums but as active participants.

​

Her work draws on long-term research into earth pigments, natural dyes and fibre processes, developed through time spent with master artisans in Mexico and India.

​

Through simple actions such as pouring, pressing, throwing, and layering, she sets up conditions in which gravity, weight, touch, and time shape the outcome. Rather than controlling the result, she works with these forces as collaborators.

​

In what she calls colouring, colour is used to initiate an event rather than compose an image. Marks emerge through gesture, transfer and material interaction, with outcomes shaped by a balance between control and release.

​

Her work explores a relationship between body, material and environment, where form emerges through interaction rather than intention.

​

She has exhibited in London and realised site-responsive work internationally.
