Petrina Hicks

Rosemary's Baby is from Petrina Hicks award-winning series ‘The Descendants’. An affecting dual portrait, it is one with a disconcerting rift between the sitters, with Hicks engaging us through the chimp’s warm, almost ‘human’ and rather pathetic attempt to communicate with its aloof human partner and, ultimately, with us.
