Nina Canell is interested in the physical and chemical characteristics of materials and found objects and their symbolic and metaphorical nature.

It connects material and immaterial forces with each other, for example by heating, humidifying, electrifying objects made of wood, copper, plastic or glass or placing them in electromagnetic fields. Canell's works embody a transition phase and focus on the process and the transformation: the objects are either in the installation in the process of transformation or represent the result of a process that has already been completed.

Canell likes to work with simple materials and used objects, such as weathered wooden beams, branches and melon seeds, twine, wires and electrical cables, copper pipes, nails and glass vessels.

Nina Canell works regularly with the artist Robin Watkins.
