About the Item
“Specimen 2“ is a mixed media piece by artist Heather Nicol, and measures 16x13x1“. Part of a body of work known as Salon, this particular assemblage is comprised of frame, fur, plastic, paper, trimming, LED light, on board. The artist continues her reflection on domestic materials and their relationships to display and social identity. Specimen 2 includes one LED light wired through an origami paper form. An elegant yet curious artifact as evocative sculpture, Specimen 2 interrogates the histories embedded in these objects and materials, while carrying on an aesthetic tradition through transformation into a work of art.
Heather Nicol is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice includes immersive sound installation, small-scale discrete object making, and independent curating. Her large site-specific interventions explore the architectural, sonic, historic and operational conditions across a wide range of locations. These include concourse atriums, rail terminus, lobbies, a theatre, a public school building, a theme park, and a sweat shop. An interest in points of connection and intersection link these threads.
Nicol has created projects in Canada, the US, Germany and France. She completed her Honors BFA at The School of Visual Art, NYC, her MA at New York University, and her MFA at OCAD University, Toronto.

- "Salon 13" is a collection of 13 small mixed media pieces with electric lightingLocated in Toronto, Ontario“Salon (13)“ is a collection of 13 small-scale works by artist Heather Nicol. The installation of 13 assemblages is variable. The artist will personally consult with the buyer and can be on site for the installation. The 13 mixed media pieces include delicate lighting elements that shift and change via arduino electronic devices, or utilize picture lights throwing a soft roll of light across the artwork. These works are linked through their wiring, which is enveloped in a white umbilical cord-like fabric casing, creating an organic, unifying code of display.
