Jacqueline Nicholls is a London based visual artist, visual poet and educator whose art practice engages with traditional Jewish texts using a variety of media. She is interested in handwriting as a form of drawing, the relationship with writing and bookhood, language and our bodies. She’s interested in the emotional affect when writing and speech collapse into illegibility and silence, and yet still call to be read and heard. Her Draw Yomi project, she followed the daf yomi cycle of learning a page of talmud a day, and responded with a daily drawing. She has an MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, London. Jacqueline’s work is held in public (ANU Museum Tel Aviv, Israel, Ben Uri Gallery London, UK, John Rylands Library Manchester, UK) and private collections.
