“Salon (13)“ is a collection of 13 small-scale works by artist Heather Nicol. The installation of 13 assemblages is variable. The artist will personally consult with the buyer and can be on site for the installation.

These include concourse atriums, rail terminus, lobbies, a theatre, a public school building, a theme park...
