Jessie Nixson
Contemporary Artist & Art Therapist Trainee
A multidisciplinary artist, my practice focuses on collage, hand embroidery and printmaking in relation to connections, collections and conversations.
As Tracey Emin has said 'The most beautiful thing is honesty, even if it's really painful to look at.' The act of transforming my brokenness into something tangible, more recently I have been using art making as a way to disclose personal experiences and my deepest and most intimate thoughts and feelings. Combining written elements, photographs, drawings, collage, textiles and found objects I attempt to create in a way that raises awareness and conversations around emotional & domestic abuse, sexuality and family.
