Nicki Rolls
I create drawings and paintings of wild flowers and weeds, exploring the resilience and fragility of the natural world. I am currently working on a residency at Northcote Nature Reserve in Isleworth, and on the tidal section of the River Crane. I am working in different media, including large-scale works in charcoal, hand made inks, oil paint, metal and wax, creating drawings, paintings and sculpture in response to the plants from along the river and nature reserve (see my website www.nickirolls.com)
