Feral Nifty
Bio
Feral Nifty has never lost interest in the human form. It’s adaptability and vulnerability are endlessly intriguing. The wordless communication that happens with the tilt of a head or the crook of a finger, is like visual poetry and She is forever wanting to capture the emotions that come from our involuntary gestures.
When She work, She employ modern materials such as heated plastics, oil based clay, epoxies and glues, handled with traditional sculptural methods to bring a unique texture and movement to each figure. Weight and balance are also primary curiosities and she desires to find gravity in all her concepts.
Through the marriage of organic and geometric forms Feral wishes to invite the viewer to suspend disbelief and project his/her own ideas and emotions onto the work. The tension and struggles illustrated by each piece will resonate in a myriad of ways becoming a platform for the viewer to awaken ideas and bring them into conversation.
