On this episode I’m thrilled to be chatting with Nicola Dale.

She has exhibited widely in the UK and undertaken residencies internationally. She is a keen collaborator, working with practitioners across the arts, recently including performer Florence Lam (Peer to Peer, Hong Kong); artist/curator Garth Gratrix; and composer Ailís Ní Ríain (A-lesh Knee Ree-un) (IMBOLC festival, Northern Ireland) amongst others. Her work is included in a number of collections including The Grundy, Blackpool; University of Salford Art Collection; John Rylands Library; The University of Manchester and Tate (artist’s book archive).
