Rick Hayward (b.1982) is a Meanjin (Brisbane) based artist translating two decades of traditional signwriting experience into a studio and public art practice, alongside varied commercial projects. Employing traditional sign-making and wood-working techniques, Hayward's practice considers the universal nature of existence, seeking to realise the union of the material and the spiritual through craftsmanship and presence of mind.
