the society of layerists in multi-media

Nancy Egol Nikkal

"My work is about touch.

I have worked seriously in collage since 1985. It was (and still is) a commitment to expressing visual imagery in paint and paper. I love working with paper, creating with paper, and touching, tearing and gluing paper.

It’s about connections.

One piece connects to another by line, color, imagery or memory to the next. Some collages are tiny. Some are very big — one was 7 feet tall. I create my own inventory of hand–painted papers — a palette of papers with the color, detail and surface texture necessary. Media also include hand–made, appropriated, photocopied and recycled papers and prints.

Works have been exhibited nationally and internationally and are included in public and private collections throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Austria, India, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Singapore."
