Nora Fok is an artist whose work is based mainly on the ever changing aspects of nature, structure, systems and order. Her pieces are very complicated, reiterating the complexity of the item she has based her work upon. The items Fok creates range from neckpieces and bracelets to an armadillo hood, based on the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow.
Some of Fok's work does not appeal to me, because of the garish colours and the way the are presented, for example 'Veil' which I am not a fan of, mainly because it differs from her work inspired by nature and the environment.
My favourite pieces of her work are those that are based on water or moisture.
This is because she has managed to create something so small and delicate that really reflects bubbles/the morning dews quality. Her ability to knit with nylon is extensive, and some of the rings and neck pieces are vast, which must have taken hours and hours to create. I really admire her use of these materials because it reiterates the fact she's making something based on nature, as all of the items she has taken inspiration from were knitted together themselves. I don't feel that Fok's work has any shortcomings, because her clear knowledge of knitting with nylon shows how she can manipulate the shapes, so that hardly any two items look the same.
I feel that perhaps a lot of her work, even though it is often displayed as wearable is slightly impractical. It would perhaps be better if it were shown in a gallery, which would make it exclusive. I also think that because the pieces are so complicated, it's obvious they take many hours to create, which means the price of the item must be quite expensive to make up for the materials and time she has used.
