Oil Field (Comic)
REPRINT HAPPENING IN JAN 2025
‘A quiet, contemplative and explorational piece with beautiful forms, thrilling vistas and immaculately fluid direction. […] a new vision and voice to look out for alongside Lily Blakely's and Jess Kay's […] OIL FIELD additionally boasts a bona fide punchline which I never saw coming, and which will leave readers tantalising themselves, compulsively, with questions’. Stephen L. Holland, Comics Laureate 2021-23
Sikorski’s first self-published book, Oil Field, is a nearly-silent comic following a woman as she wanders through an oil field. Her meandering daydream is punctuated by some high-stakes moments as she recklessly explores the landscape she finds herself in. Oil Field is filled with mechanical and somatic details, expanding fleeting moments into a slow meditation.
