ABOUT CHLOE OCTIGAN
Having studied creative arts, Chloe Octigan primarily uses photography and drawings as her chosen media. In the last year, she also have been experimenting with mixed media as a way to create visually striking pieces.

Enjoying holding a mirror up to society, but also as a way to capture this moment in time.

This Age, by Chloe Octigan
A Window Exhibition
Walk past Nabe's mini exhibition space in our Shop front, 'The Window' to see This Age by Chloe Octigan.
Words by artist, Chloe Octigan:
This Age is an artwork capturing this moment not only in my life but also in the lives around me. Here is part one of this series, as displayed through a collection of identical questionnaires filled out by a group of people, acting as a fun way to get to know someone. My inspiration for this series was born through celebrity idolization.
I found myself loving to read about an actor’s favourite book or a musician’s best childhood memory, but what about those around me? I adore my circle of friends and treasure and celebrate their opinions. This is a way to immortalise those very opinions. Connection through artwork can often be layered and meaningful, especially through abstract work. I wanted to counteract that, by making something simple in it’s nature, but still relatable and interesting to take in.
