The Word Collection Project Press Release
My artworks are delicately sculpted using text, drawing & pattern. Recent work concerns genetic identity juxtaposed to words gathered from others about the fleeting moments, traits and secrets which form their true, everyday identities.
Recently featured in an interview with the artist on SkyArts TV, the process of collecting these thoughts & words has been a gradual, ongoing project for several years to gather diverse responses from a large number of people: they have been beautiful, moving, funny, intriguing, rude, touching, varied… See some of the responses here. Please add your thoughts to my collection - words@nicolaanthony.co.uk

Commission to create sculpture for Antony Gormley Plinth |
Made entirely from reclaimed book text salvaged from water-damaged copies of 'Bleak House' by Charles Dickens, the sculpture is born from a fascination with linguistics & semantics, & will spark the interest of crowds in Trafalgar square & those viewing live on webcam:
“A beautiful yet playful object, delicately crafted from individual sentences from the book which plume from the head of the wearer & coil around the body. The literary nature of the sculpture will reinforce Sue Luminati’s aim as a chosen ‘Plinther’ to promote the Poole Literary Festival & the diverse nature of ‘literary artwork’ during her hour.”
Paper aeroplanes & scattered words… The timeslot on the plinth will also incorporate a performance of creating & launching paper aeroplanes which will be fashioned from excerpts from books and words from Nicola Anthony’s ‘Word Collection’ (see more) A call has gone out for new entries of words from the public which can be submitted here. Of the hundreds of responses as many as possible will be featured on the aeroplanes.
The hour-long exhibit/performance this Sunday 2nd Aug at 8-9am will be streamed live on www.oneandother.co.uk & will be featured on the SKYarts channel.

Installation work 240 x 240 x 240 cm
50,000 sugar cubes and half cubes and mixed media.
Sponsored by Tate Britain and Waitrose
Sugar Cube Room was a room swathed in sugar cubes, incorporating subtle textual elements and whispered voices. The subtle but powerful abundance of simple materials creates complexity and depth, parodying the sensory exclusion of the 'white cube' space. (See 'Sensory Work' in the About section for more details)
LUSAD Fine Art Exhibition: "AstraZeneca first prize commission winner 2006"

Loughborough;
I find Myself Looking at You, (June 2006).
200cm x 120cm
Resin, perspex and mixed media
A commissioned piece for pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca with a stronger focus on biology and identity. Consisting of small resin cells which form a larger piece, the artwork encapsulates drawings and personal statements that define us; aiming to connect with the viewer by being striking from a distance, and simultaneously intricately detailed on closer examination, revealing the daily highs and lows of life, and engaging vision as a close sense; a sense of touch.
