Nathan Burazer:
Ambrosia for Wandering

November 4 -January 8, 2006

Ambrosia for the Wandering is a video projection by San Francisco-based artist Nathan Burazer.

Microscopic, botanical, biological and celestial forms inspire Burazer's shapes and colors. By drawing with a computer mouse, the artist creates ever-changing arrangements of these forms. According to Burazer, "These lively, evolving shapes reflect the intricacies of life forms and eco-systems. These systems grow independently of each other but work productively as a whole, multiplying, mutating, growing apart and later decomposing."

The work evolved from Burazer's practice of painting and drawing. Burazer sees the animations as kinetic paintings. He is interested in the practice of mark-making in digital space as well as in physical space. In a time-based medium, like animation, in addition to giving the paint life and movement, the artist is able to reveal all layers on the continuum from the painting process.
