The exhibition:
Explores a
range of works
developed
between 2002
and 2016 from
the artist’s
sketchbook pages
to large graphite
drawings and
giant, life-sized
ink drawings.
Known for:
Her fluid
figurations —
capturing moods
and moments,
both visceral
and artificial,
intimate and
performative.
Materials used:
Variations of
graphite,
colored pencil,
acrylic & ink
on paper.
Nicola's
approach:
“When I begin
to draw, I have
no idea what’s
going to appear.
I work swiftly,
to stay just
ahead of the
cage of language,
the linear mind
and rational
decision-making.
I just let the
forms grow
themselves —
self-organize …”
