Transition and interaction are common threads throughout Nicholas' work. Transition between dimensions, between form and space – and here transition between states of matter.
Liminality - the ambiguous threshold between one state and another also plays a central role in Nicholas' work. Flux is flow and change - and in ceramics a substance used to lower melting point.
In this new work we see the interaction of solid and liquid, the reaction between two forms and states of matter, the result of interplay of the mind and hand of the maker with chemistry and heat. Each piece is a composed accident, using the kiln as a vital tool in making and heat as an agent of change.
