Tails & Fainters

Artists

Nicole Wermers

Press release

For over two decades, Nicole Wermers has explored the physical and structural hierarchies of urban space in relation to the bodies – both present and absent – subjected by them, drawing on references from art history and vernacular culture. Tails & Fainters, her sixth solo exhibition with Herald St, presents two new, characteristically evocative and slyly humorous bodies of work that challenge the classical – and often male-associated – vertical trajectory of sculpture.
