SVIFA
I’ve had the pleasure of working on a collaborative project with a Brae Parker, a songwriter, producer and sound engineer. Our work is part of the “Thinking Outside the Frox” exhibition currently showing at Mounted ARI in the Blue Mountains. Svifa (meaning “to take flight”) is a collaborative artwork consisting of a sock-pelt cloak with accompanying soundtrack which speaks to and symbolises the place of strong, powerful, independent women in our contemporary world.

Sculptural sponge works
Working in the expanded field of painting, Blair-Hickman creates sculptural works resembling aspects of nature using mass-produced everyday materials. Her current project contains over 60 sculptural items made from acoustic foam with biomorphic qualities. This project explores agency through materiality with themes of transcendence and transformation.
Discovering materiality
This body of work explores the absorbent properties of the sponge and its ability to transcend its state from an ordinary everyday object to fine art. It was the start of the journey into materiality.
To float a little
During the 106 days of COVID-19 lockdown in 2021, Blair-Hickman created a series of watercolour and ink drawings which were then paired with poetry. To view the images, click on the link.
