Nicole Watt aka Mahlimae (Australia) is an internationally known self-taught mixed media sculptor. Her exquisitely simplistic and emotionally driven characters evolve from a world long forgotten; a world hidden in the shadows of imagination. Finding inspiration in ancient ritual and folklore, Nicole’s melancholic works take you on a compelling journey into the darkness and light of human nature, drawing you in closer to explore the stories hidden within their subtle and fragile expressions..
Description: The road that runs through a life shaped by art and creativity is rarely straight. It shortens without warning, turns rough underfoot, and sometimes disappears entirely, leaving you to wonder if it ever existed at all.
An Epidemic of Retrospective is a gathering of voices from people who know that road. Not experts looking down from a distance, but travelers mid-journey, writing back to the version of themselves who had not yet learned what they now carry. Each piece is a personal letter to a younger, less weathered self, and what fills those pages is hard-won: wisdom, honest reflection, lessons that only arrive after the stumble, and observations that could only have been made by someone still moving forward.Their travels are far from finished. That is precisely what makes what they have to say worth hearing.
