The works of N. Dash convey a profound tactile sensitivity through the artist’s manipulation of materials such as fabric, adobe, jute, polystyrene, paper, and string. Utilizing this wide variety of media with a minute attention to detail, Dash constructs compositions that engage with visible and invisible forms of energy and movement: of bodily meridians, architectural circulation, and environmental flux. Transmuting rough materials such as jute, mud, and fabric into meticulously finished surfaces, Dash’s work evokes the materially embodied yet intangible presence of attentive touch. More »
N. Dash (b. 1980, Miami, Florida, USA) lives and works in New York, New York, USA. N. Dash’s work spans painting, sculpture, photography, and drawing and employs both natural and manmade materials, including pigments, adobe/mud, jute, graphite, fabric, and polystyrene. Across these materials, the artist’s inimitable approach seeks to both record sensory and informational capacities of touch and render typically unseen conduits of energy: ecological, architectural, and corporeal. |
