Selected Works

Margaret Nicoll makes soft sculptures and wall works about contradictory experiences and blurred boundaries - moments when intimacy and discomfort, holding and letting go, belonging and separation, containment and release, exist all at once.

Working with hand-dyed cheesecloth, pigment, acrylic, canvas, and steel, she uses wrapping, binding, veiling, repetition, and accumulation to build forms that shift between softness and structure, figure and abstraction, openness and enclosure.

Bodies and forms remain deliberately ambiguous - part figure, part landscape, part abstraction, allowing opposing readings to coexist without settling into a single meaning.
