Nikki Davidson-Bowman

Bio: I am a multi media artist working in the areas of sculpture, installation, collage and stitch. I work with found ephemera, words & natural things, to highlight female stories of resilience. Embracing my own emotions, I explore the often ignored & darker sides of life with honesty & humour, to make connections to identity & memory.
