Victoria Rickards’ work is a meditation on memory, home, and the construction of identity. Born and raised in Miami within a Caribbean household shaped by Trinidadian and Jamaican traditions, she developed an early sense of place grounded in language, tradition, and cultural inheritance.

Her paintings function as sites of reconstruction, where remembering becomes an active process of layering, obscuring, and revealing. Working in acrylic, she builds surfaces through color and shifting form, allowing biomorphic shapes to emerge, overlap, and recede.  Edges collide and reassert themselves, mirroring the instability of memory as something continually rewritten rather than fixed.

Her work engages the tension between longing and presence: the desire to return to formative moments alongside the recognition that memory cannot be relived. Ultimately, Rickards invites viewers to consider how identity is shaped not only by where we come from, but by what we choose to hold onto, reinterpret, and release.
