Travers Nash's Artworks at a Glance.




Viewing of Work by Artist : Travers Nash 

at Greenwoods. Artist Residency in Ahmedabad.

by studio Verve


Concept Note :

Take a look around you – you’re surrounded by technology. Every aspect of our lives, the way we eat, travel, communicate and entertain ourselves are all determined by constantly “advancing” technology. In our modern world of mass production and consumption these technological objects come pre packaged with a stereotyped usage, leaving little room for creative innovation on a personal level.
These latest works have been heavily influenced by my time in India. The colors, sounds and energy of this country have influenced my attempts to create a more meaningful interaction between viewer and technology  ; a creative relationship that moves beyond pure materialistic consumption.

drilling
Travers at work, a hole had to be drilled for each L.E.D then the wires soldered to the L.E.D's.
was quite a task ... but Travers is so involved in his work, he dosen't stop until 
he gets the effect he desires.

School students visit the Artist Residency at Studioverve

It was a pleasure to have over at our residency the children of grade 9 of the Riverside school.
They were interested in meeting and knowing about the work of our artist in residence Travers Nash from Australia.
Ms. Vinita Modi who accomponied the children said they regularly visit art exhibitions and galleries with children who are interested. It is nice to see a school take such initative.
