Welcome to Liverpool

14.10.07 - 28.10.07
A solo exhibition by Nicola Fitzsimmons

Red Wires first solo exhibition was held by Nicola Fitzsimmons in October 2007.
Welcome to Liverpool was an examination into her involvement networks that arise from shared interests and passions such as for music and art.
  

The installation based in the main gallery space consists of a series of new works created in response to the artist's experiences of social interaction within the city. Using repetitive forms and everyday materials such as paper and adhesive tape Nicola transforms the mundane and routine into a visual feast contemplating concerns about a personal past, present and future

 

Nicola's first solo show presents a union of paper airplanes, characters constructed from adhesive tape, polystyrene and cardboard bodies pulled together by old cassettes along with masks and photographs that collectively translate Nicola's playful approach to the exploration of identity and experience



As part of the exhibition visitors were invited to bring a compilation mix tape/cd to be entered into an ongoing music swap.
