Written in the Wind: Drawing from Nathan Coley

// February 24th, 2010 // b-hind the scenes // b-uncut

Greg Thomas, an artist at b-uncut, shares his inspiration for some of his recent work.

Nathan Coley’s sculpture ‘There Will Be No Miracles Here’ (2006), references an invisible authoritative voice. The words tower above the viewer as if to intimidate and there is a contradiction between the content and placement of the sculpture. This is what I have tried to explore with my own piece ‘Brace’. The allusion to flight and dissipation directly contradicts the content and it’s meaning.

  • Intriguing work. The intellectual appeal of the works shown run deep. I find these somehow attractive in an intellectual sense, though not in an aesthetic one. It takes an unusual talent to stimulate the intellect without appealing to the senses, particularly the eyes.
