Summary:
"David Nash is internationally renowned, since the 1970s, for working with wood and using a machine saw to form his large, dramatic and tactile sculptures." "This publication accompanies an exhibition created for Tate St. Ives that highlights the distinctive geometric theme in Nash's work. The theme of the exhibition is characterised by inorganic, non-allusive form which has been present in his sculpture from the early wooden constructions of the 1960s to the present day. The exhibition includes a range of works including large-scale sculptures - some charred - a film projection focused on Nash's Boulder project, photographs documenting this land work together with a large wall drawing created for the sea-facing gallery." "Richard Cork's essay Inside/Outside the art of David Nash, and Susan Daniel-McElroy's interview with the artist both consider Nash's philosophy of ideas, his knowledge of the physical properties and processes of his chosen material, the context of making his work in North Wales and for the St. Ives Modernist context."--BOOK JACKET.
