SVA ANIMATION LIGHT BOX SERIES
For fifty years, Nelson has made series of different kinds of paintings, distinguished by a variety of approaches to both image and material. Nelson prefers to exhibit her two sided paintings on steel stands or wooden constructions, out on the gallery floor rather than parallel to the wall. Sometimes she glues strips of fabric on to the canvas, allowing them to be a constructed element or ripping them off to establish a drawn line through the paint. The bi-annual Hamill Lecture presents artists who are leaders in the field known for working across artistic disciplines.ĭona Nelson is a painter who often works both sides of a stretched canvas, staining and washing it with acrylic paint and water, using a spatula to mark the canvas with the first image, an image of the stretcher bars. This ongoing lecture series was launched in 2004 and is named in honor of BU School of Visual Arts alumnus Tim Hamill.
