Nicole Banowetz
is a Denver sculptor who makes sewn inflatable sculptures and delicate assembled forms. Her artwork addresses vulnerability and struggle. She empowers objects through embellishment, building up protective layers, which with time become destructive. Her forms move freely between growth and decay blurring the distinction between decoration and disease.
Nicole works professionally as an artist in sculpture, design installation, and education. She graduated from Colorado State University in 2004 with a BFA in sculpture. She has also lived and worked internationally creating and/or showing work in India, Italy, Ireland, Russia, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Taiwan and England.
