Nese's work doesn't expose itself entirely but creates associations through a method of remembering and reminding. It allows the forms to be completed and portrayed as images in the mind. The erasing action which is done to correct an error is one that opens up creative possibilities in the production process. While the action of erasing reveals that which is underlying, it creates a temporal unity on the surface by bringing the present moment to the same surface. This coherence assists in imaginary space being abstract. It takes reference from nature and establishes contact with the landscape tradition. The lack of use of a Euclidean perspective in works helps to create an atmospheric area into which the viewer is incorporated, rather than observing the landscape from afar.
