Nicholas Sullivan is a very process driven sculptor and one of two Nicks who run A.D. gallery on NYC’s LES. We talk about his new studio, his cool artist mom, materials and their meaning, the power of work that is both personal and political, the tenderness of paper, Orwell’s 1984, and learning to trust one’s self in the creative process wherever it goes.
