Nate Cassie’s approach to capturing the natural world through photography, printmaking, digital editing, and painting techniques results in otherworldly stills in everyday locations. With his head turned toward the sky, Cassie reveals the mysticism and intrigue of organic forms and their undervalued presence in everyday life, challenging the uniquely human perspective of mundanity with an effervescent perspective. The digital altering of the image is countered by its physical printing application and illustrates the human desire to seek meaning and express understanding through reimagining and inner machinations.
