I was a little intimidated, as she'd just come off doing the Whitney Biennial. But it turns out, she's awesome. Her work is gorgeous and smart. And she is also a really good baker.

She just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the production of her new film Strange Play. I pledged $35, and I'm going to get a new ringtone that she designed, as well as the warm fuzzies. Check out her project here:

Her paintings are dark, jangly, gender-bending and beautifully painted. They are loaded to the hilt with historical, decorative and folk art references.

Kenneth Noland said he wanted his geometric chevron paintings to be read from a speeding car. But Nate's paintings reward the careful viewer. He has a beautiful touch, gorgeous surfaces, and color and patterns that thwart your expectations.

this pattern has a complex repeat

There were some better-than-usual group shows, including this stunner of an abstraction show at Mitchell-Innes and Nash, featuring Katherine Bernhardt, Alfred Jensen, Chris Johanson, Chris Martin, Andrew Masullo, and Judith Scott:

And beloved Richard Tuttle at Pace:

I call this one "grapes and a bra, ringed with hotdogs." Or maybe I was hungry.

Recently, she's been making bright process-oriented silkscreens through a faculty residency at Parsons. Check 'em out:
