Nanette Wylde

I am a reflective thinker and maker whose studio work is a response to specific phenomena which are generally external to myself. The resultant work is interdisciplinary with a strong focus on narrative and storytelling.

My process often begins from an obsessive thought, as in trying to understand/make sense of a given phenomena; a string of words, perhaps similar to an ear worm; a concept, or concern which I attempt to satisfy with both research and making. My most recent works reflect on issues of sustainability, the history and practice of natural resource extraction, global mass extinctions, finding meaning, and discerning truth in today’s world. Although I work in the media best suited for a given project, I think of myself as a printmaker, and my process often results in artist books which include original text.

My interests include: language, personality, difference, beliefs, systems, ideas, movement, reflection, identity, perceptions, structures, stories, socialization, definitions, context, memory, experience, change, the natural world, and residue.

Recent exhibitions include the de Young Open 2023 which featured one from my series "Milagros for Times Like These."
