Recycled linen, thread, canvas, acrylic, caulk 24 × 12 in | 61 × 30.5 cm Unique work Includes a Certificate of Authenticity “The Weights of Women” is a deeply personal and evocative piece, rendering on an apron, an everyday object imbued with layers of symbolism. This artwork serves as both a canvas and a metaphor, exploring the multifaceted experiences of women. The apron, traditionally a symbol of domesticity, care, and nurturing, becomes a narrative space where the invisible weights borne by women are made visible. Through mixed media, incorporating textiles, paint, and symbolism, the apron transforms into a tapestry of stories; a testament to resilience, strength, and the often unacknowledged labor of women and the personal struggles that define womanhood.

1975 Beidigheim, Germany

Nicole Durham is a Contemporary Neo-Expressionist Artist living in North Houston, TX. Durham's exploration into nontraditional mediums has awarded her multiple exhibition opportunities, including "best in show" at The Ardest Gallery in The Woodlands, Texas. She is also a founding member of Tenacious Artists, an all-women's artist collective, recently completing their first group show, Elements of Contrast. Durham was born in Beidigheim, Germany in 1975 and moved to El Paso, Texas where she became a US citizen at 8. Daughter to a German mother and African American father, her multi-racial upbringing helped mold her creative soul and passion for art. Her work often focuses on a deep exploration of the female form, female emotions, or the myriad of experiences that define womanhood. Through nontraditional mediums—whether it be caulk, textiles, found objects, or organic materials, Durham seeks to transcend conventional representations of femininity and delve into the complexities of identity, resilience, vulnerability, and strength.
