Interview Christina Massolino Right: “Embracing Growth (vessels 1, 2 and3)”, 2018, stoneware, dimensions variable, photographed by Nima Porkar
Nicola Sutcliffe is a ceramic artist determined to express self-growth through her art. She graduated from UniSA’s Contemporary Art degree in 2019, and is currently completing a Master of Design (Contemporary Art). During Nicola’s ceramics specialisation as part of her undergraduate degree, she created strange, yet beautiful, spiralling, bendy clay vessels that spill off tendrils and roots. These objects were Nicola’s way of expressing ‘sad spells’— artwork of reflection and self-growth. Nicola discusses the importance she places on sharing experiences around mental health and inspiring artistic evolution with us.
