Nicole Rademacher

As a multi-ethnic adoptee, I have spent my life carefully observing, considering material such as gesture, space, and object as cultural artifacts in my largely, image-based practice. My need to observe and investigate led me to travel to many countries and immerse myself in diverse cultures, looking for the familiar. Now, after returning to my home country, I am facilitating workshops with the adoptee community: building works collaboratively and creating a space to discuss meanings of everyday movements and objects, and examining the relationships between these bits and pieces as a way of describing alienation, belonging, intimacy, and identity.
