Nicola Jackson
Nicola Jackson (born 1960) is a New Zealand artist, born in Dunedin. Jackson is best known for her small, highly detailed and vividly coloured papier-mâché three dimensional paintings. She frequently references domestic life and female identity in a very subtle way, occasionally reaching over into the expressively grotesque and medical anatomical taxonomy.
