Nicholas
Smith
Nicholas Smith investigates sexuality, queer identity and memory in his works. Ceramics form the basis of his practice and are augmented with painting and sculptural elements fashioned from found materials. His materially rich assemblages weave references to personal aesthetic and material inheritances, including the interiors and decor of regional suburban homes, symbolism and imagery associated with the Roman Catholic Church, crafts that have been passed down by maternal family members, along with twentieth century décor and artistic lineages.
Nicholas Smith is represented by Haydens Gallery, Naarm/Melbourne.
