This is the first major publication on the artist Everlyn Nicodemus and accompanies the first ever retrospective of her work. It offers a fascinating introduction to her life, career and art.
Over the course of a 40-year career, Nicodemus has created and cared for a vast body of work that, until recently, has been kept in storage – unseen and unexhibited. Nicodemus engages with complex subject matters, unflinchingly addressing human suffering and societal responsibility. While her works convey and process traumatic experiences, they are ultimately hopeful, focusing on healing and the power of creativity. This publication will reveal the scope and ambition of this astonishing artist’s practice.
Expert contributors offer new insights into Nicodemus’s practice, including a new interview with the artist. Exhibition curator Stephanie Straine explains and contextualises the rich pages of artworks, drawing on extensive primary research with the artist and her archives.
