PRICE/NACHA
Built on a shared interest in human-Earth relationships, the indexical nature of rock materials and the cognitive challenge of geologic time, the collaborative practice of Meghan Price and Suzanne Nacha develops methodologies for engaging geologic sites. Employing their combined expertise in textiles, sculpture, painting and geology, they mine the earth sciences for ‘signs’ that hold the potential to connect human experience to the physical Earth.

Land Line is a video loop (14:15 min.) shown as a large-scale projection. A document of Price/Nacha’s fieldwork, this video shows a series of discursive performative actions executed in geologic landscapes. With line as a central motif, the work emerges from an expansive approach to drawing and departs from traditional modes of artistic and scientific representation. Through a lexicon of provisional tools and actions, Land Line articulates a process of enquiry foregrounding chance, the tactile, earth’s forces and the everyday.
