Multidisciplinary artist and sculptor Will Nash’s practice ranges from large scale outdoor public works to smaller gallery or domestic works.
His bold sculptures are inspired by the geometry of the natural world, and the examination of his place in it. Different bodies of work fall into families of forms that are connected by a particular geometry, repeating sequences of planes and angles to create similar variations on a theme. The sculptures are accessible and often playful; sequences of shapes, lines or angles encourage the viewer to explore the form following its lines to make sense of it.
Nash has exhibited regularly since 2001 in both group and solo exhibitions. He lives and works in Lewes, East Sussex, UK
