Vickers draws from the history of the female nude and its critique to make paintings that utilise qualities prominent in the historical canon of painting. These include form, light, and gesture; and themes such as the sublime, romantic, and individual. Vickers coins the term “discarded body” to pose how these qualities can be relevant after the period in which the canon of art history and the female nude at its center have been challenged.
