Nicola Johnson

I have a passionately informed practice looking into human behaviour. I am fascinated by the nuances and reasoning in the choices we make in our day to day lives. I have a multi-disciplinary visual artist. My work encompasses sculpture, installation and photography. I don t shy away from an informed practice. I have an acute awareness that although my work is not overtly political my passion for politics and seeking another way, does inform my work heavily which is why I am so keen to engage with this year’s Democratic Pavilion. I am a passionate socialist who through my work and other reading seek to explore another way. Michael Alberts work on Participatory Economics is an interesting challenge to that idea. My current work is based around the subjectivity of truth, titled The Propaganda Models the work seeks to question the viewers perspective on one story and to perhaps rethink the way they absorb a capitalist media in today’s climate. Using small shards of broken and cut mirror glass the pieces are large and imposing, designed to be immersive and intimidating the flooring of the pieces destruct as the viewer engages however the main sculpture remains intact. The idea that there are multiple perspectives in all stories and that we are all involved in creating those threads which can become potentially destructive.
