PRESS AND AWARDS

"When I first met Madeleine Hicks, she was dancing around OZ Arts Nashville dressed as an octopus. Hicks often builds her own props and sets — her circus cats in the most recent iteration of Modular Art Pods were wonderful — and she's not afraid to get weird."

-Erica Ciccarone (Nashville Scene)

NATIVE NASHVILLE :
ARTIST FEATURE

Excerpt:

"Sincerity in storytelling is fundamentally important to me, but I don't necessarily equate sincerity with realism. I enjoy using elements of surrealism, absurdism, and dark comedy to express ideas, but the stories themselves always center around themes of vulnerability, resiliency and femininity. I love experimenting with different mediums, but it's always about choosing the most interesting way to explore a story or idea. Finding the time and discipline comes naturally with the curiosity and excitement of making things.
