In an attempt to hold on to past experiences, Nikki fetishizes them in her work by marking them as specific times in her life.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki\u2019s work is a young adult\u2019s approach to cataloguing the period of adolescence by using infantilization to show nostalgia and longing for the past. Nikki\u2019s work shows that culture creates a reflection, and that reflection is the artist. Nikki\u2019s images strongly convey her message using an \u201cin-your-face\u201d approach. Through the power of suggestion, these images come together to form a narrative of identity, desire, and sexuality. The viewer cannot mistake the intentions of her work, but is still left questioning the underlying story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>March 21&ndash;April 1, 2012<\/strong><br \/> <br \/>\nOpening: Thursday, March 22, 7&ndash;10 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GALLERY 1313 Cell Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nikki\u2019s work is a young adult\u2019s approach to cataloguing the period of adolescence by using infantilization to show nostalgia and longing for the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=8379\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8378,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8379"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8857,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8379\/revisions\/8857"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
