Nicky Hepburn’s work is based on textures, patterns, details, light and colour. The forms are found in the landscapes of the bay, coast line and forest. Nicky references found objects such as shell grit and cuttlefish on the tide line, fish scales, leaves and forest litter. Her work is an observation and celebration of cycles and natural growth patterns encountered in the landscape.
