Nicole Mickle and her husband, Alex Mickle, are the duo behind Safehaven Studios, known for their large-scale public sculptures. They are recognized for their innovative approach, combining traditional sculptural processes with industrial techniques like blasting and 3D laser scanning. Their work, often involving community consultation, is highly respected for its collaborative nature and ability to interpret and represent diverse cultural narratives.
One notable example is the "Wardandi Boodja" sculpture in Bunbury, a five and a half meter steel bust representing a Noongar face.
