Thank you @colossal for the write up on the latest series by @cathnelsonart, 'Future Memories', 2020. "A decade ago, Catherine Nelson compiled hundreds of photographs of barren, snow-covered landscapes and autumnal forests for her project Future Memories 2010. The Australian artist, who lives and works between Ghent and Amsterdam, recently revisited that series to create a new body of work with similar world-building techniques. Composed of photographs captured during three years and across four continents, Future Memories 2020 spans “from the lush, tropical flora of Costa Rica and Far North Queensland and the fertile, volcanic mountains of the Azores, to the rolling hills of the Greenland tundra,” Nelson writes. Many of the orb-like digital assemblages feature thick brush and foliage around the outside, while the less-populated centers appear to bulge out. The organic spheres hover effortlessly against a cloudy backdrop, highlighting the rich colors and incredible diversity of every environment. Each piece serves as a reminder that “it is in the flourishing variety of the local that the fate of the world resides,” the artist says. Nelson’s work is on view through September 22 at Michael Reid in Sydney." ---words by Grace Ebert #catherinenelson #catherinenelsonartist #futurememories #futurememories2020 #australianphotography #contemporaryphotography #comingsoon #michaelreidberlin #michaelreidsydney (at Michael Reid Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEU7MVTjPG_/?igshid=o7wr3drdzy3f
