She works with assemblage and installation, although considers painting her primary medium. She is drawn to responding to place, using the language of painting to explore memory and hidden social and cultural politics that might shape perception, sentiment and feelings of belonging and exclusion. Education Nan Collantine completed a foundation in art in 1990 followed by 25 years working in the creative sector. Her self-taught art practice began as she and her family moved to Australia in 2016, on her return she joined the Islington Mill Art Academy, a year long peer-led art programme. From 2019-2020 Nan participated in the Turps Banana Painting correspondence course.

It's a rest from my large scale paintings and using oil paint. These are made using pencil drawings and gouache paint, which I love for its powdery texture. I enjoy playing around with the shadows that the catalogue images cast under the paint, and I collage the pages too in order to create abstract interior landscapes, each postcard is like a flattened, cropped intersection of space.
