ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Some ideas burn us up. Some allow us to fall into the deep sensations of life. As a study in breaking through layers of thought, this image presents several materials that define surfaces. The glass that magnifies the glowing tessellation, the ripples that distort the reflection, the lower mirror that reflects everything and the glowing skull tessellation that provides both illumination for the work and also a reminder of the eventual finality of circular thinking. Using 20 years experience working with physical glass objects and light installations, this body of work experiments with taking that knowledge into digital modeling. In this model, only four "objects'' are present, a egg shaped glass covered in the tessellation, the glass head, a surface of water and a magenta mirror. The image is the result of light interacting with those objects.

After completing his MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2009, Nicholas set up a private sculpture studio in Austin. He has exhibited work in Marfa, Seattle, Austin, Providence and New York. Over the past decade, Nicholas’s major studio themes have focused on visually representing the sensation of breath, asthma and the eroding of the physical body. In 2015, Nicholas launched Visual Ministry Consulting which strives to create visually vibrant experiences for local worshiping communities. Nicholas is an adjunct faculty member at Austin Community College and Concordia University Texas, where he teaches drawing, design, glass, photography and ceramics.

Within this learning environment students learn to use a discovery based practice, the design development process and critiques as a tool for positive growth. His teaching philosophy can be found on his website. Nicholas lives and works in south Austin with his wife and four sons.
