When not making art, teaching, or working as a preparator at the ICA in Richmond, Nick works as a mover. Overtime Nick became fascinated with the moving blankets themselves, these everyday, mundane objects which protect and preserve a family’s beloved belongings, that show the wear and tear of the labor and the history of these moves and yet go unnoticed and unheralded. Fagan states, “the blanket envelops these precious objects and gains a charge, similar to Joseph Beuys’ idea of charging objects.”
