ARTIST STATEMENT
There was a girlinabox mad as hell, her white head a wasps nest, buzzing, as cold as ice.
girl in a box seeks story(ies), images, words… (lies, truths, account, tales, rumors),
from female identified humans, describing (telling, revealing, expressing),
the boxes that define, (enfold, contain, limit, explain), their life, (lives),
purpose, with intent to share, (sustain, inhibit,
pledge, engage, promise, understand), (or not)….to enact change.
This is one of my stories.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Niki Nolin, Evanston, IL, is a media artist who works to blend painting, drawing and poetry with motion, interaction, installation and performance. Working collaboratively with artists and poets, her focus is to arouse in the viewer the conviction of a reality which exists in the spaces between words and images; intuitive gaps and leaps of faith, text and voice over time, and the disassociations and non-linearities of thought-play and choice – a digital rendering of mind and universe. The work investigates the choices, circumstances and attributes of women.
