Projects
Breast Health | An Evolving Series
Through sculptural representations of real bodies, this evolving body of work explores the physical and emotional landscapes of breast health, cancer treatment, reconstruction, and recovery.
Rooted in compassion and body realism, the series seeks to create space for those navigating breast cancer and its aftermath to recognize themselves in art, fostering understanding, connection, and a renewed relationship with their bodies.
At its heart, this work is about recognition, not correction.
All About Love | Ode to bell hooks
Inspired by bell hooks’ transformative book All About Love: New Visions, this multidisciplinary exhibition explores love not simply as a feeling, but as an intentional practice of care, compassion, vulnerability, and connection.
Through sculptural representations of the human body, intimate storytelling, and opportunities for collective reflection, Miranda translates hooks’ writing into a tangible exploration of what it means to love ourselves and one another.
Rooted in the belief that love is both deeply personal and profoundly political, All About Love creates space for curiosity, tenderness, and conversation. It is an invitation to recognize love not as something we simply receive, but as something we actively create, practise, and share.
*This exhibition is ready for installation in a new space.
The Archive of Us | Participatory sculpture & Archive
The Archive of Us is a participatory sculptural installation exploring menopause, collective memory, and the transmission of knowledge across generations.
At its centre, a lace-covered body cast is gradually adorned with resin-hardened doilies—objects referencing domestic labour, matriarchal traditions, and the often-unrecognized knowledge passed between generations.
Throughout the exhibition, visitors anonymously contribute reflections on their past, present, and future experiences of menopause. As their words accumulate in a living archive, Wickett identifies recurring themes and inscribes them onto the sculptural flowers, adding each to the growing garment.
The resulting work transforms individual testimony into a collective portrait of an experience too often overlooked or silenced. Through the interplay of traditional handwork & contemporary feedback, The Archive of Us considers how personal stories become shared knowledge & how recognition can create connection.
Each voice contributes to an evolving artwork, preserving the complexity, wisdom, & humanity of lived experience.
Suspending Support | The Hidden Architecture of the Bra
Affectionately dubbed “The Giant Bra”, this large-scale sculptural installation transforms an everyday undergarment into an exploration of engineering, embodiment and care.
Suspended in mid-air, the six-foot bra magnifies the intricate architecture of cups, seams, underwires and tension, making visible the often-overlooked systems that provide physical support. Through an unexpected shift in scale, Wickett invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between bodies and the objects designed to accommodate them, questioning how standards of fit, function and accessibility shape our experiences. It asks, “Who taught us about this feat of engineering that we wear every day?” and “Who taught you (if anyone) how bras are supposed to fit?”
Blending humour with critical inquiry, Suspending Support explores the intersection of design, body literacy and the broader meaning of support.

Women in Sport | Taking Up Space
Coming in 2027
Taking Up Space is an emerging sculptural series exploring the visibility, strength, and representation of women in sport—and the ongoing negotiation of whose bodies are celebrated, scrutinized, and given room to thrive.
Beginning with “Basketboob/Boobsketball”, the series playfully reimagines familiar sporting objects through the lens of the female body. Basketballs, hockey pucks, rugby balls, baseballs, and other athletic forms become unexpected sites of conversation about gender, embodiment, power, and belonging.
Blending humour with social commentary, Wickett challenges the ways women's bodies have historically been objectified, regulated, and underestimated, particularly within traditionally male-dominated sporting spaces. By reclaiming these objects and transforming them into unapologetically bodily forms, the work invites viewers to reconsider what strength looks like, who gets to define it, and who gets to take up space.
Taking Up Space will continue to develop throughout 2027, expanding into a larger collection of sculptural works celebrating athleticism, bodily autonomy, and the power of being seen.
