Nathan Lynch
American
XX-XXI
Nathan Lynch was raised in Pasco, Washington an agricultural community in the shadow of Hanford Nuclear Power Plant. The futility of this environmental contradiction gave Lynch an acute sense of location and deep appreciation for irony. As a sculptor and performance artist, Lynch has made collaboration and experimentation major components of his practice. Recent projects include Doubledrink - a two person drinking fountain for Headlands Center for the Arts, Dead Reckoning at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and nest module design for the Wedgetailed Shearwater on Oahu. At the University of Southern California Lynch studied with Ken Price, and later earned an MFA at Mills College with Ron Nagle. Lynch is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Ceramics Program and Glass Program at California College of the Arts.
