Nobuhiro Nakanishi – Layered Transparent Drawings

Nobuhiro Nakanishi’s new installation layers multiple transparent images in a sequence to create a larger more complete piece of art. The first thing that came to my mind after looking at Nobuhiro’s work was systems thinking. The simple thought process of understanding how things influence one another within a whole. OK, maybe it’s not a simple process but the interaction of each individual frame of Nobuhiro’s work makes it seem effortless.
There are too many times where we get caught up in a project or task where tunnel visions sets in and we become fixated on singular portion of the entire system that we’re trying to influence. It’s always a good practice to parcel out each element of the project or task that you’re working on and take note how each piece influences the others. In my experience, doing this exercise provides new insight on how the whole project or task works as a whole and therefor unveiling elements that if changed could innovate the entire system.

My final project is "Spectral Cartographies".
I have become fascinated by the geological layers of architectural history and their ongoing impact on the forms of the present. I started to explore the history around Millbank and in particular the way the Penitentiary clearly impacts on the present day cartography of the area. I imagine the building trapped in-between the past and present, its impact on the present still very tangible, as if a spirit with something urgent to tell, refusing to go quietly into the past. I have explored how to capture and visualise this powerful ghostly presence in the present day, to render forms that are simultaneously tangible and intangible, real and imaginary, gone and yet still powerfully resonant in an attempt to create a timeless shared imaginary architectural presence.
