Artist Woman
Artist Woman is a solo exhibition and installation by Oakland-based artist Nicole Storm. Storm is known for her large-scale installations made on found paper and gathered ephemera. Movement figures prominently in Storm’s painting process — she dances or walks around, bringing her materials with her. Her two-dimensional work emerges through and alongside this engagement with the spaces of her life. In installation, this way of working is reflected by her painting’s incursion into/onto the gallery wall. The inclusion of atypical supports like cardboard boxes, folded paper, or packing tubes reflect her roving hand and attention. Artist Woman includes work Storm made while in residence at ArtYard.
