R. Nelson Parrish is a multi-disciplinary fine artist, investigating the expansion and contraction of time. His internationally recognized practice fluidly moves across mediums and materials. Parrish actualizes his works the same way a musician or actor moves between instruments and roles: immersed in the moment and highly dedicated to craft.
His works translate visceral and ephemeral moments into the tangible. These heightened experiences that are simultaneously calming and chaotic, are also definitively poetic and memorable. Each piece presents an opportunity to slow time, inviting the viewer to awaken a new lens in which to experience the world.
The works, the viewer, and their experience are threaded together into a grander narrative. The narrative of who we are as a people and culture, that can be told for all of time.
