​​Nathan David French
 
French's practice moves between wearable forms and sculpture, merging the visceral with the mineral, and the human with the mythic. Exploring the human form, French draws inspiration from Greek to catholic sculpture, using unconventional materials—feathers, wax, and crystals. His work explores the fragile threshold between beauty and brutality, transformation and decay.  He creates bodies that are both sacred and monstrous—mutating forms overtaken by crystal growths, suspended in states of pain, pleasure, and metamorphosis. Drawing on themes of lineage, queerness, fear, and the tension between control and surrender, his practice weaves together personal mythology with collective trauma. Each piece is a relic of survival, a sensual confrontation with shame and desire.
