Incorporating various styles and techniques Nash utilizes stoneware, earthenware, terracotta and porcelain. The sculptures are then fired electronically using a pit firing technique giving the sculptures a "raku" effect; creating an "African Nouveau" trademark that is solely his own. Each sculptural figure is unique and strikes an individual pose of poetic grace and refined detail — each telling their own story.
The most striking encounters at Whitney Plantation are with the statues of slave children who look so frighteningly real. They constantly remind people that it wasn’t just adults that lived, worked, and died on plantations.
