Nicole Morri's work in textiles and film exists across exhibition, learning and community contexts. In her artistic practice she is interested in how the parallels between fabric and moving image can explore and blur the relationship between tactile and filmic space. Ongoing explorations of analogue technologies, which consciously resist digitization, explore the relationship to the manual labor of the body and how this is performed through this media. Steering away from linear narrative in favor of a poetic and tactile exploration of how we record emotional feelings, themes of the body in relation to architectural and domestic space are translated materially.
In parallel to this, her practice engages directly with community groups to explore these methods of making together. Through textiles, film, drawing and conversation, projects have mimicked collectives of people who would congregate to design and make various textiles from designing quilts to weaving tapestries. In these spaces Morris is interested in how the coming together of a group of people such as these, exploring the time-based and repetitive nature of these processes, can offer creative potential as well as a supportive space that can be essential to mental health and wellbeing.
