Nathaniel Rackowe b. 1975

Central to this work is the idea of pathfinding, locating and tracking - activities that are both preliminary and responsive. Rackowe is bringing the viewer to a site of split aspect, a point of binary code. Pathfinding is implicit of the ‘I’ of the author, it places the artist at the scene of his own work, denoting the continual present of activity, while drawing to the fore the wider agenda of terrain forged externally, the coexistent landscape of marks, objects and ideas that belong to the history of art; outcomes that act as points of demarcation, systems of reference and location through which tracking can be achieved.
