Nicola Atkinson created Los Angeles Electric in response to the place she was experiencing at the time. The electricity pylons being the essence of the place, the source that charges everyday activity in our modern world. The images were absent of the surrounding activity of people, these power exchanges in the sky almost representing the personal exchanges on the street, both purposeful and busy in their own way.

For her up and coming November exhibition This is Permanent in Santa Monica, California, she returns to the city from Scotland with Glasgow Walks, people and characters going about their business in Glasgow city centre. The images are devoid of personal history or direction, leaving you wondering where are they going and who are they. With every one you find yourself studying the clothes and demeanour, searching for their story and destination. Assumptions are made in a heartbeat, as human nature has programmed us to do but life experience more often than not tells us not to do. The 20 hand drawn people are placed on stoneware hand thrown cups, the exteriors white and interiors green with 14 karat gold rims.

Just to drive you bit crazy.

NADFLY introduces her second ceramic series. She created three cat drawings to adorn bowls and jugs. 'U CATS ONE' is calling to you , 'U CATS TWO' is stalking the interior rim and 'U CATS THREE' is sitting at the bottom.

“The U Cats collection started its life in my garden in Sweden where a black cat adopted me. I wondered why was she so attracted to me? Was I part of her territory.... or is it something stranger than that?

One of my favourite pod casts is WNYC's Radio Lab show entitled 'Parasites'. It has a story about the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that "brainwashes" rats into craving cat urine. This parasite uses a remarkable trick to spread from rodents to cats: it alters the brains of infected rats and or mice so that they become attracted to the scent of their predators. The possibility is that toxoplasmosis is one cause of Schizophrenia in humans. So maybe this parasite makes cats attracted to us as well. Can loving cats make you crazy or are we crazy not too?”

Nicola Atkinson Does Fly June 2010

2010-05-01T10:49:00.002-07:00

With NADFLY now in its sixth year, we are proud to welcome you to the NADFLY SHOP. To start with we will be introducing you to new works of stoneware teacups, spirit cups & jugs entitled Los Angeles Electric . This series was inspired by the time Nicola Atkinson Does Fly spent in Los Angeles while presenting the second phase of her artwork Cup Thoughts for the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery as part of the Actions, Conversations & Intersections exhibition. During her stay she noticed the unique nature of the electric poles in Los Angeles, each one showing the process of human activity and decisions over time. There appears to be no format or rules for the wiring, seeming to connect in such an ad hoc way to each other or to the residences and shops.
