Julianne Nash
Julianne Nash (b. 1991, Massachusetts) is an artist whose work exists at the intersection between photographic collage and digital painting; she utilizes algorithms inherent to Photoshop in conjunction with traditional compositing techniques to create densely layered landscape images that contend with both personal and climate-driven grief. Color is an integral aspect of Julianne’s work; ranging from dark, depleted and disappearing images to artificially saturated color palettes driven by neural imaging algorithms. All of Julianne’s landscapes are of no specific place – rather are meticulously created collages of numerous photographs. Often inspired by places within the environment that evoke an unknown sadness, fear or discomfort, Julianne’s work explores the complex relationship between personal, cultural and natural histories visible within our ever-changing landscape.
Julianne Nash received her MFA in Photography Video and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts (2018) and her BFA in Photography from Massachusetts College of Art and Design (2013). Julianne’s work has been exhibited widely in galleries such as: The Wassaic Project, Griffin Museum of Photography, Amos Eno Gallery, Robert Klein Gallery, et al.; and has been published in numerous magazines such as Create, Dear Dave, Meregoat Magazine, and more. Most notably, Julianne’s work was published in Lyle Rexer’s acclaimed book, “The Critical Eye: Fifteen Pictures to Understand Photography” (Intellect Press 2019). Julianne’s work has lead her to participate in multiple climate-focused events such as: “Lost in the Woods: Grief and the Ennuipocalypse”, a Death Cafe she hosted with the Greenwood Cemetery; and the Creative Climate Awards 2024 at the Human Impacts Institute, which included a CCA Arts & Action Chat: “From Climate Anxiety & Grief to Action”. Julianne has participated in residencies at The Montello Foundation (NV), The Eastern Frontier Society’s Norton Island Residency (ME), and SEAR: Searsport Eco-Art Residency with Parsonage Gallery (ME), et al.
