work from a lot of other local work is a melding of conceptual prowess, humor, and material mastery. \u00c2\u00a0In viewing this work I can&#8217;t even figure out what half of them are made out of, but damn do they look good. \u00c2\u00a0(His <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nathaniellewis.blogspot.com\/\">blog<\/a> reveals some of his technique.) \u00c2\u00a0The shear number of objects stands out in an area where the bare minimum is often the popular response to artistic work. \u00c2\u00a0Nathan also makes innovative use of all space available in the gallery, from the floor, to pedestals, and the wall, to the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>I only fear for the 1 acre plus of rainforest that probably died to make each of these cute golems.<\/p>\n<p>And honestly, the large stuffed pieces looked like they were there only to fill space. \u00c2\u00a0 Humongous flocked golems might have been interesting though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nathan&#8217;s show will be up again at the <a
