Reacting to Southern California living, Alaskan R. Nelson Parrish voices his work through color. Drawing from skiing, surfing and auto racing, Parrish uses personal experience as source material for the creation of objects comprised of: resin, pigmented resin, racing stripes, wood and fiberglass. The resulting works are hybrid of painting and sculpture. They seek to be a visual translation suggestive of a synergy of landscape and the sensation of calm induced, despite the tumultuous and chaotic surroundings which occur in adrenaline sports and in high-speed information devices. Ultimately Parrish seeks to meld these emotions, and seemingly disparate elements, and consider question of natural verses synthetic.
