Gill Hickman

Textural artist Gill Hickman's geometric and organic shapes communicate a sense of calm and wellbeing in her paper and found materials works. "The very act of creating these works can be seen as a meditation in itself." says Gill. "The layers in the works are mirrored in the many processes involved in making each piece. Each stage of the process requires a meditative presence and focus: the folding and hand-tearing of the paper using a book-binder’s bone knife, the preparation of the special acid-free glue and the delicate application of the gold leaf." You can visit this show at our OXO tower gallery until the 21st of October, and maybe find an artwork that brings you that special sense of peace.
