Male Nudes
POSTURES and PARTS: The Male Nude - A Native Nevadan, Nicol has used the male figure, photographed and digitally manipulated, as a means of formulating a response to her experiences in Nevada’s often contradictory landscapes of desire. As a result, Nicol’s multilayered compositions posit engaging questions to viewers regarding relationships, social identities, and societal issues surrounding the female gaze. Nicol’s work has been described as a fusion between printmaking, painting, and digital photography. Trapped under a thin sheet of resin, the monumental men in Nicol’s gridded images appear to float between layers of digital color and oil glaze.
