Rickards was born in 1979 in Hammersmith, London. [1] She studied at Central Saint Martins, graduating in 2002. In 2007, she returned to teach there as a lecturer in Fine Art. [2] [3] [4]

Rickards is a conceptual sound artist. In 2007, Rickards interviewed people from Alaska who said they could hear the aurora borealis. [1] [5] During a solo show at The Showroom gallery in Marylebone, London, she displayed transcripts from her interviews on three monitors in red, green and blue. [5]

Rickards' 2009 two-screen film work No, there was no red, was displayed at the Whitechapel Gallery before it toured to the Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy. [6]

Rickards' 2014 exhibition at Modern Art Oxford was accompanied by a monograph examining her artistic practice and with an introduction by Paul Hobson. [7]

After winning the Philip Leverhulme Prize in 2015, Rickards took a two year sabbatical from teaching at Central Saint Martins, during which time she worked on a new piece at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center, in Troy, New York, and undertook research trips to the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Banff, Alberta.
