Through her practice Nicola Turner investigates the dissolution of boundaries, liminal states, and the continuous exchange of ecosystems. In doing so, Nicola explores the interconnection of life and death, human and non-human, attraction and repulsion. She combines found objects that hold traces of memory, the shapes of living forms, and materials from organic ‘dead’ matter such as wool and horsehair – a material used previously for bedding and furniture and, in that regard, alive with history and memory. Nicola’s work resonates with the notion of abjection and, consequently, carries within it an acute awareness of death.  Amid this state of confusion and unsettlement, however, an affirmation of life’s forces is simultaneously allowed to arise.
