Nash Glynn
Bio: Nash Glynn is a trans-disciplinary artist currently working in New York City. Using painting, photography, video, and performance, she uses her body as a medium to illustrate ramifications of historical categories such as Nature, Female, and Human.

In 2018 she was the recipient of the Leslie Lohman Museum Artist Fellowship. Her works has been exhibited in galleries and festivals in the U.S. and abroad including, Participant Inc.

Thesis Exhibition
Artist Statement: I am a metaphor maker at the end of the world. I use my body as a medium to illustrate ramifications of myths such as Nature, Female, and Human in relation to our current ecological crisis. Through desperate attempts to scare or seduce the viewer, my work challenges anthropocentrism in order to reevaluate human and nonhuman agency. Drawing from science research and fiction, I am both invested in sharing information and complicating it as a mode of neutral observation. I form spaces where objects like utopia and dystopia coexist. It is a contradiction, but so are you my love.
