Richard Higlett

Richard Higlett is an inter-disciplinary artist, curator and musician. 

His practice spans works and projects that he describes as acts of folly, being dependent on chance and linguistic association. 

Previous works include the creation of a dog choir, a series of fiddle jigs inspired by water flow, a digital typeface from eighth century Welsh handwriting, a minimalist sculpture using 10,000 pennies, a zebra crossing designed for cats and a 10-metre mirrored billboard hidden in a forest. 

As a curator, he was one half of Mermaid and Monster an agency which represented contemporary Welsh artists in the late 2000s. In 2010, he founded Goat Major Projects, an artist-led project space in Cardiff which hosted off-site projects and events. He also presents mobile sonic projects via a speaker system mounted on a car roof.
