Nick Cave’s sound suits

Nick Cave, an artist and educator working out of Chicago, is the creator of full body “soundsuits” which are made from layers of metal, plastic, fabric, hair, found objects, and other things that rub together to make noise. Many of Cave’s soundsuits are politically/socially inspired and have deeper meanings than just looking fantastic and making rustle sounds.

Nick Cave is an amazing fiber/textile artist who was once a professional dancer with the Alvin Ailey American Dance theatre!!! He now teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. All of you goth/prog rock kids better open your minds up because great artists are allowed to share the same name!!!!
