Kitchen Diary

"I started keeping a small sketchbook in the kitchen, to be used only in the kitchen, so it would be easier to record thoughts and draw things while I make food for my family. It was an exercise in being present and not letting moments slip away that may seem small at the time. this is a selection of drawings and writings from that first month." Nathaniel Russell

Nathaniel Russell was born and raised in Indiana. After college, Russell spent several years in the San Francisco Bay Area making posters, record covers, and woodcuts. He returned to his home city of Indianapolis and now spends his time creating drawings, fake fliers, bad sculptures, wood shapes, and music. Russell’s work is regularly shown around the world in both traditional galleries and informal spaces, usually surrounded by an expanding list of friends, collaborators, and like-minded folk. He frequently returns to his second home of California to work with friends on projects as varied as murals, print workshops, and backyard musical performances.
