Nathaniel Price - Available Artwork

Nathaniel Price’s work is not only a physical feat but a feat of immortality as well. The As Built series is a set of life size human shaped figure drawings made of meticulously written words in varying shades of graphite. As the series progresses, the body undergoes what Price regards as a ‘stress’ with a concentration of resources to the vital areas of the body such as the head and heart. When one comes face to face with Price’s work, there is both a physical presence of a body as well as a handwritten trail of medical decay. Even though the graphite aims to point out problem areas in the human body, the series ends with a halo effect of words surrounding an empty figure once again leaving the viewer to ponder the darker themes of human mortality.
