Haynes’ work usually has something to do with communication (difficulty). Her current focus is performance-based although she says ‘I hesitate to call myself a performance artist: my performances are mostly restricted to my studio, and even there the thought of being seen through the window is embarrassing’.
Haynes’ work is held in various Australian and international collections, including the Australian National Gallery and State Library of Queensland.
Nicci Haynes has a Bachelor of Science (Hons) from University College Cardiff (1985) and a Bachelor Fine Arts (Hons) from the ANU in 2007.
