Artist Statement

Nicola’s practice integrates live performance, visual art and contemporary music composition through process-led physical and intellectual enquiry.

Performance based research questions our understanding of the ways in which we interact with, create and are affected by sound.  Disciplines include durational and body-based performance, site-specific work, sound design, live installation and social sculpture.

As artist/curator, Nicola’s approach focuses on moments of integration between the curatorial and creative processes, with an objective to producing moments of artistic questioning which return the subject to a position of enquiry. Cross art form methodology and collaboration underpin her discursive methodology to performance, curation and arts education.

Nicola’s diverse practice aims to establish a conceptually-based creative way of working which combines the personal, creative and intellectual in a socially intensive atmosphere, to foster new ideas for how to live, work and show art.

Alongside her practice as an independent artist, Nicola is also associate director of new performance and theatre company Tender Buttons and coordinator of The Wunderbar Festival. She is also a member of New Work Network’s Advisory Panel.
