Description: It is rare luxury to be writing for a catalogue after the exhibition has opened. Such pieces are usually written in the white heat of preparation and installation, full of assumptions, anticipations and fingers-crossed conclusions. Instead, this short catalogue illustrates Nicola Hicks` remarkable exhibition in situ, in the Whitworth Art Gallery`s new sculpture space, the Mezzanine Court. A week or two`s reflection allows one to appraise the layout of the show, decide on the merits of new work, and most telling of all, observe the reactions from the gallery`s visitors. their close examination can turn admiration to inquiry and even to concern, because Hicks` work often combines charm and menace in equal and sometimes devastationg measures.
