Nickola Pottinger: fos born

Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum
Ridgefield, Connecticut
June 8, 2025–January 11, 2026

Jamaica-born Pottinger creates “duppies” (Jamaican patois for “ghosts”) out of paper pulp made from family documents and other found materials, then colors them and adds other shapes that can include casts of her own face and hands. A newly created set of these talismanic figures will be on display in this, her first solo museum show.
