About the Artwork

Nicky Hirst’s working method is usually to observe and unravel. It is an exploration of serendipity within the everyday. Starting points may be objects, places or words which she then shifts, manipulates or juxtaposes. By noticing what is already there a visual poetry is revealed in the ordinary. In ‘Slant (SMED)’, Nicky employs the tree-like shape of the Ikea ‘BONDSKARET’ coat stand, originally created by Rutger Andersson in 1978 and was then named ‘SMED’. By subverting, multiplying and tilting the flat pack elements she has created a shift in perspective.
