Television Alchemy
Nicola McEvoy is a transdisciplinary artist who works across the mediums of analogue/digital video, cameraless photography, textiles and ceramics. She is a graduate of the Royal College of Art and Goldsmiths, University of London.
‘Television Alchemy’ is her practice-based research that investigates the liquid materiality of CRT TV. Following the radical approach of chaos magicians, she is interested in how critical theory can inform a path of mysticism that aims to disrupt the hegemony of capitalist realism — unveiling esoteric realities and alternative modes of being: divine, feminine, disruptive.
Presently, her research is focused on the Great Mother archetype as the ‘dream screen’ (Lewin) and original surface upon which reality is constructed. Returning to the embeddedness of the infant before ego-formation, which has since been hijacked by capitalism and its symbolic order.
As an artist educator and facilitator, she has worked with children and young people, as well as adults with learning disabilities.
At the thresholds of consciousness mercurial revolution takes place.
