The water in these drawings has been collected from rivers, streams, puddles and rainfall across the wexford county and further afield. River water as a metaphor for society has been a theme throughout the creation of this exhibition: Everyone is connected, part of Ireland, part of the world... but the river splits and divides; it crosses borders and emerges as streams, puddles and bubbles; it gets gentrified and compartmentalised, stranded and evaporated, and it forgets that each droplet is part of the whole.
River Water series was commissioned by First Fortnight Festival and exhibited as part of Nicola’s solo show “A Desire for Closeness”, 2020.
