For the past four decades, British artist Nicola Hicks’ practice has addressed the universal, and often darker aspects of humanity, critiquing our social systems through the use of contemporary allegory.
In October this year, Nicola Hicks will present Dump Circus, a large-scale installation imagining the city as an urban wasteland, where the natural world has been ravaged and suffocated by greed and waste.
Hicks’ sculptural vignette encompasses both a horrifying account of human havoc on the planet and hopeful speculation on the irrepressible endurance of life.
