NIKKI - 2

What always surprises me about Nikki’s work (I prefer Nicky) is its diversity. On the 2nd February I showed her paintings which are unique in my book and that’s not just because she’s my daughter. Her sculpture is something else again. As she doesn’t have access to an oven, she works with earth that does not need to be baked. It’s surprising, as taking a piece in hand, it’s very heavy and feels solid. Looks it too. Apart from the Angel which I feel that I have seen before, her snake and vase are quite different. The sculptured face is something I recognize as her work. Most of it is functional especially for incense. I am not permitted to buy the snake as it is to burn incense and as I am not an incense lover... Those eyes are compelling but I am sure he is a very nice slithery snake.....
