Nelson presents My Nana’s Cabinet – August 2025 Artist-in-Residence
Thu 31st July – Wed 27th August 2025
Inspired by the contents of a china cabinet belonging to her grandmother, Nelson uses silk fabrics and intricate hand embroidery to meticulously recreate each object, exploring the fragility of memory. Nelson will be working in our Exhibition Gallery throughout August to complete My Nana’s Cabinet.
The accompanying exhibition will explore her research and development for this piece. At the core of Nelson’s practice is storytelling and the murkiness of the “truth” of one’s own recollections. Her practice embodies vulnerability through a combination of object (primarily hand embroidery), text and film.
Nelson is a contemporary conceptual artist based in Essex. She graduated from the Royal College of Art (2023) and featured in Skipton Town Hall’s exhibition ‘Emerging Yorkshire Artists’ in 2024.
