Artist and Educator
Nicola Neate is an artist based in the Outer Hebrides, working primarily in photopolymer gravure. Her practice explores landscape, ecology, memory and the traces of human and non-human presence within place. Combining digital processes with traditional intaglio techniques, she creates prints that consider relationships between environment, time and belonging. Alongside printmaking, she creates sculptures using found and natural materials, extending her exploration of materiality, form and the embodied experience of landscape. Her practice is rooted in walking, collecting and close observation of the landscape.

A Tapestry of Connection has now reached the end of its Creative Scotland-supported phase. What began with VACMA support in April last year developed over time through studio work, workshops, and collaboration, leading to new connections, conversations, and creative outcomes that I am grateful to have been part of.
