{"product_id":"system-error","title":"System Error","description":"\u003cp\u003eNicholas Birch is a Brisbane-based abstract artist and stay-at-home father of three. After working in television production, his practice shifted towards painting as a way to process lived experience of mental health and, more recently, an autism diagnosis in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis work treats colour as a sensory and emotional language, often exploring what it feels like when sound, thought, and sensation start to blur. Through layered, intuitive mark-making, Nick's paintings reflect internal experiences that can be difficult to express through words. His practice is informed by resilience, self-discovery, and a lifelong connection to creativity, nature, and observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow Nicholas on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nickbirchstudio\/\" title=\"Follow Nicholas on Instagram\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece explores a system trying to function but not quite holding together. It suggests structure and order, yet nothing fully aligns. Elements repeat, shift, and break, as if attempting to organise themselves while slowly coming undone. Blocks overlap, disappear, and re-emerge, carrying traces of information that feel incomplete or interrupted. What first appears stable becomes increasingly uncertain. The work sits between control and failure, capturing a state that is not collapsing, but never fully resolving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick Birch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46098275664079,"sku":null,"price":870.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/3073\/3007\/files\/Nick-Birch-System-Error-CU.jpg?v=1788741416","url":"https:\/\/recoveredfuturesshop.rfq.com.au\/products\/system-error","provider":"Richmond Fellowship Queensland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
