Dorothy (based in the Baltic Triangle) are incredibly excited to be hosting artist Annie Frost Nicholson’s first UK solo show ‘All of your textures live inside of me’ from 19th February – 12th April 2024.
The London based artist, well known for her public artworks, installations and interventions that provide people with new ways to access and process grief, will be showing a very personal collection of new artworks that build on the themes of loss, memory and a sense of self. A cathartic and colourful show by one of the UK’s most exciting artists.
‘Working with painting, collage, 70’s textures and polaroids from many years of travelling and moving through grief, the body of work looks at memory, and how we continue to find our lost loves (and selves) in living landscapes, in dreams, on walks, through conversations and subsequent discoveries. The pieces have been made over a long period of time and reflection with a lot of reading, watching, waiting and dreaming, plus thanks to my indelible influences, Sophie Calle, Jenny Holzer, and more recently WG Sebald. There is great trepidation in making this work and also great safety in the world it has created in developing the pieces. It’s an honouring of those who make us and an invitation to engage in your own experience of memory, time and the continuum, ‘the thin piece of silk’, between life and death.’ Annie Frost Nicholson
The show is free to visit and is open Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm. For weekend opening hours and special events check website https://www.wearedorothy.com/blogs/boredroom-news/dorothy-x-annie-frost-nicholson-studio-show
