Portfolio | 1998 | Archival Silence

"Archival Silence", an installation as part of an exhibition called "Delicate Dissidence – Five Women Artists", at the Woodlands Gallery. "Delicate Dissidence is a multi-disciplinary discourse on the materiality of memory, the critique of historical truths, the telling of stories, the keeping of secrets … & how we conceal or reveal aspects of knowledge, history and discovery."

"Nicholson inscribes tablets with memories, dreams and desires. The way the language is strung together pays homage to the female literary tradition, especially ‘train-of-thought’ and places a feminine history and idea in the annals of history; like epitaphs to be re-read throughout history."

Sarah Gibson, Curator quoted in the exhibition catalogue.
