Nicole Soley, American Bride, woodcut
Nicole Soley utilizes contemporary and traditional printmaking processes to generate dynamic, multi-process prints. By creating cut out, printed, paper objects and inserting them into a printed background space, she synthesizes lived experience and research. Through layering many forms of printmaking and experimenting with paper colors, viewers interact directly with the artwork, interpreting both personal narrative as well as cultural critiques. Her most recent artwork, featured in this exhbition, emboldens the viewer to consider representations of consumption and change in generational values and ideals, while also exploring our impact on our communities and the land.
Nicole Soley is an artist residing in St. Paul, Minnesota. Soley has a Bachelors of Science in Art Education from Minnesota State University, Mankato and has been an Art Educator for four years. While teaching, she has also maintained an active cooperative membership at Highpoint Center for Printmaking. Her experiences in art making have illuminated printmaking as a space of empowerment.
