Paul Nicholson

Paul Nicholson's work is concerned with the urban landscape. Dumpsters and refuse are the starting point from which he finds his materials and inspiration. Hard rubbish is a consumerist graveyard of old ideals, the resting place of technologies superseded by bigger, smaller and faster. Nicholson rescues these objects from their obsolescence and give them a new life, function and context by reinterpreting this technological waste through sculpture and animation. Obsolescence is a relative, not absolute term, in a world dominated by technology.
