For the exhibition, Nathan Lyons: In Pursuit of Magic, we asked artists who were impacted by Lyons work to select one of his photographs and comment on it. Each was asked to consider what drew them to the specific image, what notable elements do they see in the photograph, how it conveys meaning, and how the work is quintessential Nathan Lyons.
