Catherine Nash | Poetic Earth: The Memory of Land
Through December 14, 2025
Catherine Nash is the second artist selected for the 2025-2026 ENTRY GALLERY PROJECT SPACE season. Preceded by Jimmy Descant (August 2 – October 5) and followed by Jimmy Fike (December 20, 2025 – February 22, 2026).
Poetic Earth: The Memory of Land
Installation: The artist-geologist’s studio: desert earths (gathered over 40 years) filtered and ground into watercolor, pigments, handmade ceramics, handmade markmaking tools, easel, 20+ paintings on handmade papers pinned to the “studio” wall.
Poetic Earth: The Memory of Land offers an intimate view of the studio of an imaginary artist/geologist and a glimpse into the creative manipulations of the sciences of plants into paper and earth colors into artist pigments. It is my intention to create an experience that is timeless, in other words, a “set” from an earlier but indeterminate era. An avid lover of history, my favorite rooms in historic museums were always the recreated living spaces of real people from centuries past. I realize that on a certain level, I’m trying to recreate the vibrant imaginings that those rooms instilled in me. I want the viewer to feel that the artist/geologist just left for a moment…the paint brush just been set down, painting in process.
Could the viewer actually visualize themselves in the role of the artist/geologist? That is my hope…
