Nicole Foreshew

Nicole Foreshew is both artist and curator. Her works offers a thought on the objects of the Australian Aborigines today. Her video installations, ephemeral sculptures and performances seek to reactivate some ritual process involving spirituality, history, politics, race and identity, so that it consider the former and translate the present. By drawing personal connections to objects and places, her work goes beyond questions of aesthetic contemplation, blurring the sharp boundaries through people, parents and plant material found on the surface of the suburban architecture and extracted from landscapes of fertile land.
