Karla Dickens’ lifelong search for belonging has taken her from a tumultuous coming of age in Sydney to the idyllic rural setting of New South Wales’ Northern Hinterlands, with years of self-imposed exile and recovery in between. Art has played a vital role in Karla’s journey and her contemporary collages, sculptures and installations reflect a personal story, using a mixture of history and textural layers of materials to contextualise her artwork.
