Joshua Copland-Nielsen is a Northern Beaches based artist practicing on the Guringai and Gadigal Countries. Having undertaken a Bachelor of Art Theory elsewhere, following onto a Master of Fine Art in Printmaking at the National Art School, his work is heavily influenced by suburban landscapes, the temporality of the domestic space and representing the grieving process through practice. Starting in traditional printmaking, his works of romanticised and everyday suburban homes stemmed him to query and investigate differing mediums. Pushing to multimedia works through radio frequencies projected to cathode-ray tube televisions and utilising materials of the home such as building substances and objects of comfort. His works emit an eerie yet familiar setting of the domestic space in an urge to discuss livelihood and bodily experiences represented by indexic traces via materials such as deconstructed chairs, foam and print. His practice invites audience members to ponder the absorption of lived experience through inanimate objects as they animate through mediation of the material.
