CRITICAL
OVERVIEW:
Nick's work is very visual in nature.
Most of his films are silent to emphasise this. Regarding one
of Nick's films, the Artist David Cox wrote that "the sheer
exhilaration at sitting in total silence before the cascade of
light is something to experience". With the early films a
sound track would have been considered a distraction.
At one stage
in the 1980s, Nick was very involved with timelapse filmmaking.
From the one extreme of quiet contemplative timelapse, Nick has
made some very energetic animated films. His main area of interest
is the animation of slides, negatives, drawings, paintings and
photographs.
From 1996
to 1999, Nick worked at a nightclub doing film visual effects
projections where Super 8 film loops complemented the music which
played throughout the night.
Overall,
Nick's large body of work made over 21 years reflects the varied
interests and influences of the artist.
