Nicola’s work lies within the concepts of love, longing and desire within memory.
The paintings she creates portray the remnants, shadows and silhouettes of what lies in our memories. These can be everyday experiences or rare, intimate moments of great intensity lasting only seconds but remaining in memory for eternity; our own personal epitaphs.
Whilst painting Nicola often uses the mediums of photography and video in order to capture this butterfly we call recollection. As a recording processes these mediums capture all the patterns which become lost to the eye once the paint is dry.
Paint flows like consciousness flows and so the emotional experiences are taken from the mind to the canvas.
“According to Plato, man is a dual creature. We have a body that ‘flows’, is inseparably bound to the world of the senses, and is subject to the same fate as everything else.”
Jostein Gaarder
