Hesitant, Nicole Rene Woodard

I am inspired by questions that don't have clear answers. My search for self has been my most challenging inquiry. Being raised between two military career households presented both flux and constancy throughout my childhood. My practice explores the vulnerabilities that I have emerged from, without embellishment or apology. The dark side of my personal truth is unsettling, awkward, difficult to look at. Through drawing and sculpture, I make human representations that reveal human resilience. Juxtaposing different materials represents how human experience is not singular; rather, it is a spectrum of varying modes of being, perspectives, identities, and memories.
