New project! I get to go big yet again! I’m working on two 46x66” #borrowedlandscapes for a client in Vancouver WA; if you aren’t familiar with this series, it’s my continuing side project with vintage postcards addressing climate change...visit @ninaforplace to see what I’ve made since starting this project in January 2017 (you know, right before the US was withdrawn from the Paris Agreement); this series is carried exclusively by @kcontemporaryart if you want to see more! #ninatichava #largescaleart #studioview #onthetable #lovetheprocess #artnerd #climatechangeisreal #climatechangeart #vintagepostcards #artactivism (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUKLrDnhgV/?igshid=kqhgvefvg6r8

I don’t know how many of you are aware of my side project #borrowedlandscapes which is an ongoing conversation—I began the project in 2016 after the last presidential election—I felt like I had something to say but abstraction is a tough medium to get across a point, even in its best days...so I’m working with recognizable images and in a small format, hoping to raise some questions about this crazy world we live in 🌎 the gallery I show with in Denver exclusively represents this series, and I’m grateful that they believe in the work! Thank you @dougkacena and @kcontemporaryart ! #Repost @kcontemporaryart ・・・ “Climate change, economic disequilibrium, social and cultural divisiveness are all redefining what we think of as a shared American future. To find our way to something sustainable, it’s essential to embrace the impermanence of our past and look at it from a new perspective. With this work I’m using our most common point of reference—landscape—to explore shifts of viewpoint & communication. “ . . .

#tbt to July 2018 when my project #borrowedlandscapes was on view @kcontemporaryart #denver the continuation of this series is exhibiting this week @laartshow Booth 409/508! For those of you not familiar with this series, I have another IG account dedicated to this project and body of work @ninaforplace and here’s a short artist statement about the series: In January 2017 I began a series conceptually titled Borrowed Landscapes. As an abstract painter, I wanted to acknowledge a departure within my own work, but also to illustrate my intentional approach to these intimate paintings. I’m pointedly using our most common point of reference—landscape—to explore shifts of perspective and communication. By taking well-known images and altering them just enough to become unfamiliar, this series invites the observer to take a second look and reconsider beliefs and assumptions that are perhaps generations long. Drawing literal screens over images of American landmarks and landscapes represents, concretely and metaphorically, holding onto ideas that obscure our views of reality. Collaging and painting over early and midcentury postcards of national landmarks, landscapes and cityscapes, I’ve created a system of order to reduce the images to an assimilated set. I work exclusively with original source materials rather than reproductions—the age and wear on the vintage papers is important, as is the history evident on the delicate surfaces. I’m interested in the tactile connection to these everyday archives that might easily be overlooked or discarded; they stand as brief records of history and moments anchored in time. As the marvels of the past have transformed into the mundane, and our monuments become diminutive as cities rise around them, we’re confronted with the actuality that our picturesque landscapes change every era—just as we do. Our ability to remain flexible within these shifting landscapes and to recognize the impermanence of our experience is significant. And: what we choose to value and preserve will determine our shared future. #ninatichava #onview #laartshow #february2020 #itspolitical #itsenvironmental #kcontemporary #artfair (at K Contemporary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8O2Dv-noXl/?igshid=3jhp9ixgsydz
