Nathan explores and responds to her physical environment, using it as a vehicle for discovery and enlightenment. Drawing on the culmination of observation, perceptual thinking and memory Nathan creates a visual narrative. Working with a variety of objects including vessels, containers and clothing: ancient and modern, natural in origin and hand made, utilitarian and decorative, that enter her studio. Reminders of feelings, temperatures and colours. These find their way into the work as she attempts to translate an experience into a fully realised artwork.
Nathan’s work is not bound by a particular setting. Rather than time or place, the viewer is asked to contemplate the relationships between artist and subject matter and between the subjects themselves. There is a history and common thread running through these deceptively simple, everyday vessels and clothing, objects used and worn by humans for millennia, their emptiness a reminder of the brevity of our time with them.
Each print is unique, the product of single and multiple passes through the printing press. Nathan composes and determines the palette as she proceeds, often incorporating additional plates with each pass. The result is an ever changing meditation on shape, colour, and pattern. What was once observed and considered has been transformed by improvisation and an exciting element of chance.
The ethos of Nathan’s printmaking practice is one of sustainability, making use of mundane, recycled materials like cartons (Tetrapak) and recycled floor protection (Recyclo), which she cuts into drypoints and stencils before inking them as plates. She works with non-toxic water based inks and recycled paper.
