Nell is a multidisciplinary artist based on Gadigal land in the Eora Nation, Sydney. She studied at the Sydney College of the Arts, University of California and Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Her work fuses mythological, spiritual and popular cultural iconography to explore the complexities of the human condition, personal growth, transformation, femininity, cycles of life and death, and perceived dichotomies of existence. Nell has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally. A monograph on her work, published by Thames and Hudson, was released in 2020.
Nell’s sculptural self portrait is a personification of the tree as nurturer and life giver, made through the physical processes of casting, forging and glassblowing.
