About
Molly Wickett (she/her) is a British artist who can probably be found reimagining the future and thinking about utopias. She works in sculpture and installation, exploring her practice and research through a queer and disabled lens.
Themes of neurodivergence, ecology, time, and interdependence shape the terrain of Molly Wickett’s practice. She is curious about how disabled experiences can expand or subvert time, and how materials may hold or express these ideas to create spaces and landscapes of Otherness.
She is curious about exploring ecological connection, the relationships with our environment, and between ourselves and our histories. As an autistic artist, her work centres these as a catalyst for forming these connections. Using natural and artificial elements, she builds on disabled, queer, and feminist understandings of time and space as ‘other’.
Wickett collapses these into a singular moment. Influenced by crip time and a cognitive disability that affects her concept of time, she uses collection and preservation through sculpture to understand our current world and build another.
Drawn to ideas of submergence and futurity, she investigates how sculpture can create an entry point into a world that shuts you out as much as it pulls you in. Her sculptures are tactile and bodily, shaped by a disability that shares its sensory lens with the viewer.
She has exhibited across the UK, with her most recent solo exhibition, ‘All Day, Waiting For Another Sun to Rise ‘, commissioned by Summerhall Arts (2026) and her first solo exhibition at Strange Field, Glasgow (2025). She developed a permanent sculpture in Formonthills, Fife (2024) and is currently developing her second, commissioned by DAiSY (Disability Arts in Surrey) and West Horsley Place.
She has been selected for group shows at the Handbag Factory, London (2025), Centrespace, Bristol (2025) and Elysium, Swansea (2026). She is a recipient of the Fresh Air Sculpture Bursary and participated in its annual exhibition (2026). Graduating with an MA in Fine Art from Edinburgh College of Art in 2023, Molly has undertaken recent residencies at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (2024) and Hospitalfield (2025).
