Heather Nicol is an installation, sculpture, and sound artist whose creative processes and outcomes are rooted in social engagement. Her site-specific interventions are often large scale, featuring audio scores principally built with her recordings of voices. She considers the historic, utilitarian, and acoustic properties of places where audiences can pause, listen, and imagine. Through sensory encounters and tactile constructions, she invites reflection on the complicated human desire for connection, and the associated pleasures and anxieties of being seen and heard.

Heather Nicol has exhibited work at The Bentway; The National Arts Centre; and The Fleck at Harbourfront Centre Theatre, all in Canada, among others.
