For Want of a Nail

Amy Franceschini is an artist and designer who challenges the “certainties” of space and time in a way that brings into inquiry the supposed conflict between mankind and nature. Throughout her work, there are developments of an intertwined relationship between people, nature, and space, in ways that reconfigure understandings of traditional space making. One project by her practice, Future Farmers, is called Wind Theater and it transforms and translates the physical experience of wind into one that is visual and auditory, using its movements to generate color fields. Another project, For Want of a Nail, brings into inquiry the complex history of nuclear energy in New Mexico, as it seeks to develop a dialogue between the materials and those affected by the materials. Franceschini’s work spans a variety of disciplines and challenges the notions of art, architecture, and research in ways that positions the work in intriguing ways.
