NATHAN TAYLOR HOMESICK Once in a while 2009 Acrylic on board 50 x 100cm

Cover: Force of habit 2009 Acrylic on board 50 x 100cm

Never the less 2009 Acrylic on board 50 x 100cm

The familiar and commonplace objects that populate our domestic and urban environments have evolved to signify our consumerbased contemporary culture.

Consequently, everyday objects take on iconographic significance, representing social worth, wealth, personality and beliefs.

This new series explores objects within public and private surroundings, revealing habitual or ritualistic associations. There is a collective sense of a banal familiarity, but also the draw of a personal narrative – each work depicting notions of intimacy and displacement.

Homesickness is drawn from nostalgia, the longing for an idealised past. An object or space becomes a memory trigger, a physical reminder of a moment in time. These paintings examine this contemporary role of the object and how its projected social value influences our feeling of security, satisfaction and purpose – elements which constitute a sense of place, being home.
