Kirstie Faye Nichols

Evolving from experience, my work is intended to invite the viewer to encounter artwork through expressive materials. The portrayal of character is important, the use of snippets from old clothes embodies personality, reminding the viewer of the lives and events touched. A predominantly textiles and paper-based artist, I am interested in books (both reading and binding), and the making of something from next-to-nothing through the development of traditional crafts into complex and conceptual investigations into human presence.
