Nathan maintains a studio practice that incorporates painting, drawing and sculpture. His work seeks to understand the ways in which different mediums can uniquely engage with ideas of temporality and spatiality. Nathan is the current recipient of the 2013/2014 Marten Bequest Travelling scholarship, which will involve a separate Japanese visit to meet with professor Michael Lazarin at the Kyoto university as well as extended visits to Vienna, Iceland and New York.
