Nicola Breach
Visual Artist, Meditation & Creativity Facilitator
Studio Member-Hotbed Press, Salford
I have found meditation and creative work can go together as one contributes to and
enhances the other. For me making drawings act as a bridge between the artwork and the meditation: Impressions from the outside interact with the eye, mind, breath, hand, and surface. I like to collect objects and contemplate their origin and current condition. My work is subject to chance operations that occur when applying and removing collaged elements and materials. My connection with wood is a spiritual and symbolic experience.
