The starting point for Nikki’s work is the commonplace,
and often overlooked, the discarded, the industrial and “un-aesthetic”.
Her challenge is to integrate these elements into a cohesive whole. She
is interested in the properties of the materials that she incorporates
and the associations they evoke. Nikki’s appreciation of texture
is evident in her work in which she also incorporates found objects, particularly
from the everyday domestic realm, with paint and collage. Nikki's choice
of materials is based on practical considerations (they are cheap and
readily available) but by recycling and re-using, there is also an inherent
challenge to the “ throwaway”, consumerist society.
