ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Teetering on the cusp of adulthood my son sits in a London park. His gaze both inwards and turned warily to the world around him. He is complete in his own experience. The world around him fades and blurs. In this work I am trying to bring the focus to the gaze and intensity of the boy by fleshing his image with painterly, visceral mark while blurring his surrounds with loose washed out marks and desaturated colour making it almost disappear. Digital new media allows me to manipulate fore and background bringing the viewers attention to where i want it to dwell and with the weight I wish it to bring. By doing so I externalise a psychological experience. The sense of otherness this boy feels as he is within and yet outside of his surrounds.

Nikki Willson works as a new media artist, video installation artist and photographer exploring issues of figuration, identity and otherness. Nikki has exhibited in a range of local and international art events and solo and group shows and her work has been acquired by private collectors and commissions. “Our lives exist within a world of constant movement and distraction. We are in constant negotiation between the space that we occupy and our own internal dialogue. There are moments however when everything becomes still and quiet. It is this sense of being outside of time that I am trying to capture in my work. I am also interested in mental health and neurodiversity, exploring issues of memory and identity. By manipulating the digital image I combine photography and painting to remove context and create narrative ambiguity. This ambiguity requires the viewer to fill the narrative space surrounding the work.
