Since the late 1980’s Toronto-based artist Nicole Collins has produced an extensive body of work that encompasses the effects and subsequent affect, of time, memory, accumulation, force and heat on visceral and ephemeral materials, especially through painting with encaustic, the application of molten pigment-infused wax. Themes of mortality, grief, commemoration, and resilience have led to even deeper investigations, beyond the canvas, to include performative drawing, digital reproduction installation, intervention, video, and sound.
