Nicole Dextras


I adore these ephemeral works by Canadian artist Nicole Dextras. These clothes trapped in blocks of ice are like drowned souls. This series of works is by it's very nature, impermanent and temporary, a photograph being the only record of its existence, they allude to our temporary existence, fragments of fabric and odd photographs.
