Previously working under his chosen name, NEBNIKRO, multi-disciplinary artist Ben Orkin has begun to establish his practice as a sculptor in South Africa. Resulting from the inversion of Orkin’s own name, NEBNIKRO allowed for the fluidity of identity, categorisation, concept, and form. His practice is a means of moving away from expectations derived from traditional thinking and is a step towards defining his own identity. Orkin recently completed his BA Fine Arts at Michaelis School of Fine Art, Cape Town. His array of media includes photography, beadwork, ceramics, and sculpture. His practice is informed by the human form as it evolves through the experience of both spatial and interpersonal relationships.
