Nicky Bird
Nicky Bird is an artist whose work considers contemporary relevances of found photographs and latent histories of specific sites, investigating how they remain resonant. Her work incorporates new photography with oral histories and collaborations with people who have significant connections to the original site and its photographic archive.
Recent commissioned projects and exhibitions include: Going through the Mill, Signal Film & Media, Barrow-in-Furness (2022); Legacy, Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow (2021) and The Decorators, Art Walk Projects (2020–21).
