Nathan Stanfield
My work is an exercise in brevity that reflects the energy, density and permanence of working in clay. Within the processes I employ in my practice there are aesthetic references being drawn from post-war era artists in a celebration of material. My interest in the abstract and unknown is reflected with the forms I explore and choice to distinctly refrain from providing much information or narration with my work.
The work is characterized by its visual weight and heavy impasto application of colored engobes and accents. I am constructing the work using clay made with soft brick and coarse sand in a subtractive technique that captures every instance. By working in a modest scale I am able to minimize the form down to its most essential details.
