Episode 166: Nicole Peyrafitte: Artistic Practice as a Healing Practice


Listen Later

Multi-media and performance artist Nicole Peyrafitte employs a fascinating practice in her multi-works. Through her astute observations and interplay with nature, she immerses her body, her research to compose multi-media installations.
.
In my conversation with Peyrafitte, we explore a site-specific installation for the exhibition "Women and Other Wild Creatures: Matrilineal Tales," at the Sapar Contemporary Art Gallery. The multi-media installation titled "Antediluvian Sympoiesis," encompasses video, text, photography and Peyrafitte's body in engagement with horseshoe crabs and sanderlings on a beachscape. It draws and calls out the artist's "response-ability" as a healing practice.
