New Work: Sheila Hicks

Sheila Hicks has spent nearly seven decades redefining fiber as a sculptural medium, working across scales from intimate handheld weavings to monumental architectural installations. Based in Paris since 1964, she incorporates natural and synthetic materials while continuously experimenting with new structures and processes. Her practice draws inspiration from observed textures, patterns, and objects from her adopted city and travels, transforming personal and geographical references into layered, site-responsive installations. Hicks describes her evolving practice as "walking the tightrope into the future," emphasizing material transformation and formal innovation in textile-based sculpture.
