Vickers’s practice in painting, sculpture, and performance, explores her own identity and how it is situated in the world in relation to place, space, and history, often through traditional Anishinaabe techniques and materials. Vickers has developed her Ovoid Felts series for the last few years using a wide variety of materials and colours. While this rendition is presented in a grouping, Vickers also presents her felt works individually. Ovoid Felts is a unique work.
