About

Nathan Lynch was raised in Pasco, Washington, an agricultural community in the shadow of Hanford Nuclear Power Plant. This contradictory environment gave Lynch an acute sense of location and deep appreciation for irony. His concerns for political conflict and environmental upheaval are filtered through notions of absurdity, hand fabrication, and the dramatic devices of storytelling. As a sculptor, designer and performance artist, Lynch has made collaboration and experimentation major components of his practice. 

At the University of Southern California Lynch studied with Ken Price, and later earned an MFA at Mills College with Ron Nagle. Lynch is an Assistant Professor of Art at California College of the Arts.
