‘My work explores relationships that develop between mark intensities, colour harmonies and surface textures. Things that can’t be explained in words, or responses to living, are translated into my own unique visual language. It serves as an interpretation of the gritty complexities of the human condition encountered day to day in this increasingly ever-connected world. This language provides a portal into my subconscious, and in turn, offers the viewer an opportunity to access theirs. I leave interpretation open, inviting the viewer to add something of themselves to the viewing experience to try to initiate a conversation between myself, the surface and the viewer. I allow the work to inform itself, using energy that is spontaneous and direct, placing emphasis on materiality. Scale, space and the movement of the artist become mediums of their own, equally as important in the communication.’ Nate Finch, artist 2020
