Douglas Nicolson, was born in Scotland, is as an artist/educator/researcher and is based in Maputo, Mocambique.
After a Degree in Fine Art at the University of the Arts, London he completed a Masters in Community Art Practice at Goldsmiths University, London.
Along side working on personal projects and exhibiting in the UK and overseas he has developed socially engaged art projects with the Fiji Arts Council, made artwork with inmates in a prison in the UK, children in a Romanian homeless shelter, young offenders in East London, residents in a psychiatric hospital and communities living with HIV/AIDS in the UK and Kenya.
The work shown in “Fragments from the Lake of Dreams” was produced in ongoing experiments with pinhole and alternative photography techniques. The very long exposures required to capture enough light, which gives pinhole photography its characteristics of being slightly unfocused with infinite depth of field, brings a dream like quality to the images.
