Nicola
gained a first class degree in Fine Art textiles at
Goldsmiths College, London. She has exhibited
throughout Britain as well as having many
international exhibitions. Some of these include
varied solo shows at the ‘Contemporary Applied Arts’
exhibition, London; ‘Galerie Pousse’ in Tokyo, Japan
as well as ‘Visions of Craft’ at the British Crafts
Council, London and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Nicola’s textile pieces are made by a combination of dying, painting, and screen-printing cotton calico and texturing the surface with various materials stitched into the cloth. Her work is composed by studying birds and their flight in relation to the natural environment. By watching and drawing their motion she aims to capture a sense of scale and movement within space.
“Each piece of work examines our inner state, using birds to express those emotions and concepts of life both on a personal and a universal level. The work links the abstract sensations of what I feel hints of the figurative reality in a particular place. My latest works aim to capture the sense of spiritual liberation that we search for in direct contrast to the physical, conformist world in which we are trapped.”
