ABOUT

Nicole Sciarone is a research based visual artist, moderator and event organiser.

Her mediums range from painting, textile, photography, installation to (art) writing, and often combining them.

She received her MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Edinburgh College of Art by combining photographs of subtle, seemingly banal, photographs of her childhood home in South Africa with personal narrative to questions effects of diaspora, imperialism, colonialism, and apartheid in contemporary South Africa. She received her BA in Autonomous Practice from Willem deKooning with the project ‘The Cold Detachment of the Familiar’ - exploring displacement and idealising home.

Her work revolves around her long term research project of photographs of her childhood home in South Africa, which has now been demolished.

She is the organiser and host of Garage Cafe as well as interviews artists for CBK regularly.

More recently she has been exploring different modes of (self) portraits either through ableism lens or through (self) isolation lens; through objects working with egg tempera, embroidery acrylic and occasional text.

Open for collaborations and commissions.
