Nathan Vincent: The Shape of Awareness

Walter Maciel Gallery is pleased to present The Shape of Awareness, a new body of wall-mounted and free-standing sculptures by Nathan Vincent. About This exhibition marks a departure from Vincent’s previous representational work focused on gender while continuing his ongoing exploration of yarn as a material with bodily and emotional resonance. Rather than constructing his sculptures over a firm armature, Vincent loosely binds yarn into dense clusters, layering stitches over stitches and stretching modified lace structures into organic webs. Through this process, the yarn becomes malleable, accumulative and capable of producing increasingly intricate sculptural detail. The resulting works outlay Vincent’s longstanding engagement with fiber while opening a more abstract and biomorphic vocabulary. Sculpture
