On Nathan Cordero’s Facebook page, he lists metal detecting as one of his interests. This makes sense, because the Sacramento-based artist uses otherwise discarded materials to create his mixed-media artwork. He said, “Everything I have accumulated in the past two years is included in these works.” So expect to see found photos, vinyl banners, sandpaper, packaging materials and metal, of course, in his solo show A Once Retired Wardrobe.
