Nina Parsons looks to exaggerate shape, colour, and composition, through the materiality of paint. Over the past nine months working out of OPEN205, her work has drawn inspiration from domestic scenes and objects, however for Lines of Site, Nina has taken the opportunity to reflect upon the area she feels so accepted by and has come to love. The chosen subject matter, shoes the market, informally lined up on the harsh grey tarmac, reflects both the vibrancy and restlessness of the local area through confident brush strokes and colour choice, whilst also suggesting the huge range of people within the community through the individual character of each pair. Nina creates a sense of energy and playfulness, emulating the atmosphere of a market day in Deptford.
