Among the large scale works schedules for this exhibit is “Teddy’s Secret Safari”, an enclosed sculptural installation detailing a semi-fictional narrative of Mr. Nelson’s great-grandfather who traveled to the Arctic with Theodore Roosevelt in 1908.  Other work pointedly makes connections to personal and social history: “Family Memorial” is a 9 foot tall monument, dedicated to the memory of family members who served in the military, in both the historical and recent past. While it is renderd to replicate a Victorian stone monument, the focal point is the graffiti, dirt, and surround of garbage and leaves. In “Early Bird Farms,” half gallon milk cartons with pictures of endangered bird species fill a commercial refrigerator, drawing a parallel between the dangers that children and nature face in our modern world Mr. Nelson says that as artist, his goal is to tell an irresistable story with his art. In sharing his personal commentaries, he encourages us to question the “consequences of our human inter-actions with nature.”
