My father David Nerwen, was a visual artist and graphic designer. He worked in the printing industry where he applied his keen sense of color to offset lithography and color separation processes. As a fiber artist he created hand stitched abstract wool designs on canvas and produced a large body of work ranging in scale from 10 inches to 6 feet in a period of over 50 years.

Color Separation weaves together found and shot footage to reflect on my father’s creative work, his decline in health and the disorientation of losing a parent.
