Leah Hickey is a visual artist whose primary concerns are intimacy, voyeurism, sex as self-harm, heartbreak and the role of Woman as caregiver, and is informed by filmic and pictorial pornography.
Self portrait, 2025.
'Leah Hickey is an artist led by heartache; her anguish is embodied in the work she produces. The pain, memory and fleeting phrase of the performative femininity she presents is transcribed and made tactile in the permanence of stone and scripture.
Blending the truths of lived experience with English Romantic poetry and Christian and Druidic death ritual, Leah streams rhythmic verse that at once touches and negates the viewer as they feel mutually seen, beseeched and confronted by a voice unknown.'
— Meg Stuart, Curator, Gallery No. 32.
