‘African Heart’ draws on Nash’s artistic inspiration from her travels to West and Southern Africa. The African themes of vibrant patterns, colours and textures that are used in their local art and objects are recurrent imagery of Nash’s drawings, paintings and collages.
Nash’s African photographic series further explores the contrast between traditional and contemporary Africa and celebrates her experience and love of African art, culture, music and dance over several decades.
