Nathaniel Rackowe

Nathaniel Rackowe makes large-scale works that animate architectural spaces and transform viewers into active participants. His works explore the boundaries of physical space and movement, casting light about their perimeters like a search beacon. Made of low-tech 'functional' materials, the works expose otherwise unseen dimensions, visual and temporal, activating and giving physical form to the 'in-between' space that they inhabit.
