Nawrthen [nawr th ern] began after purchasing the same hand-me-down 70’s Minolta X-GM he learned to take photos with in his teens and early twenties. The original thought behind the project was to use the photos as background elements within his paintings - But the process of taking a ‘good’ photo, the addictiveness, and the beauty of analog quickly rolled into an obsession. What this has become, is a new outlet for artistic expression - but the original purpose remains in tact. Maynerd & Nawrthern co-exist, working together, but separate.
