Nate Lewis (b. 1985 in Pennsylvania, US) is recognised for his intricate works on paper, which combine elements of photography, printmaking, sculpture, and drawing. Lewis sculpts patterns and textures akin to cellular tissue and topography. Rather than serving as a medium, the paper is transformed into the subject. This transformation is especially pronounced in Lewis's abstract paper 'quilts', which are reminiscent of East-Asian painting scrolls. Handmade from pulp, they are microcosms of fundamental life forces—water, pressure, matter, and chance.
