Artist: Sculptor
Nicola Godden
"I want to create beauty, energy and something that will evoke an emotional response in people who see it. My work is nearly always based on the human figure, whether in an abstract form or in a more realistic way."
More about Nicola Godden
"My sculpting process begins with nothing more than a few lines on paper—a skeletal map for an unknown journey. Using wire to translate these lines into three-dimensional space, I build until the work takes on a life of its own. I have a rough idea of what I am trying to create but I rarely know what a piece will end up looking like. For me it is all about feel and movement and emotion."
Creating figurative sculptures in bronze for over 35 years, Nicola Godden (RSS) is an established sculptor who works in clay or plaster for casting in bronze. Some of her most recent work is based on Icarus and flight. The first Icarus was displayed at The Olympic Village in 2012.
Having worked many times with Nicola when casting her bronzes at Talos Art Foundry, we are delighted that she is bringing her three ‘Bone Forms’ pieces direct from the Fresh Air Art Festival in Cheltenham to showcase at Summer 2026.
