"We look but we don't always see. David Bickley's generous and beautiful work reminds us what we are missing..." - Carmel Winters, filmmaker and director, 'Snap'.
"My audio visual works/installations are abstracted, largely process led adventures mainly on themes of nature/landscape but also with points of reference to mythology and symbolism. They rely heavily on texture and mood and tend to sacrifice the topographical in an attempt to capture the spirit of the places depicted using memory or feeling." - David Ian Bickley
