Nancy Tschetner – Expressions in Sand
A new solo exhibition from artist Nancy Tschetner combines over 40 shades
of New Zealand and international sand to create exciting individual pieces.
Based in Hamilton, Nancy Tschetner is renowned for her ability to take a kaleidoscope of the
natural colours found in sand and generate detailed and mesmerising works.
“With my work, I aim to connect, not only people with people, but also people with nature." - Tschetner
“Gradually, each grain becomes part of a larger image, represented in my artwork. Just like us, when we come together and stand together, we are stronger and can achieve greater things.”
To highlight certain colours or details not available in sand, she uses crushed glass, leaves gold or other mixed media.
In a world where there is a growing move towards sustainability, Tschetner’s work uses nature’s own resources to provide a connection between the audience and mother nature.
Her portfolio includes sand portraits. The portraits are outstanding and bring to life that special person or beloved pet.
The variety of colours and the complexity of each grain of sand allows Tschetner to capture every distinctive element of her subject, freezing in time the fleeting magic of a place or a particular memory.
Nancy says” In my sand paintings and portraits I have pursued the simplistic and effective results that can be attained through contrast with the natural coloured sand of Aotearoa offering ideal texture and the contrast I was after”.
Nancy Artwork can be found in various New Zealand art galleries & art shows.
