During the seven weeks of 'Daily Fiber Intake' we'll focus on individual artists here on our blog. Every week, several artists will be featured. Today, we're pleased to introduce to you: Nicole Jones.

My current work has transpired from an attraction to exquisite materials and sophisticated processes. I am drawn to nontraditional materials to function within textiles. I enjoy challenging an object’s expected function to provoke a greater investigation, revealing a deeper connotation within the work.
"Flightless"
I use nontraditional materials with intent to expose the hidden beauty within. Utilizing a variety of materials such as window screen, paper, and nails allows me to enhance and connect the context within the piece. Stylistically, the work exudes a prevailing delicate and feminine driven character even with the use of these unusual surfaces.

Currently I have been exploring couture fashion in a sculptural approach that deals significantly with conceptual purpose. Each design addresses complex states of mind in which a woman can feel or be confronted with at certain moments or stages in life. I have been using “the dress” as a symbolic and relatable symbol that could be utilized to be interpreted beyond its expected function.
