Sheila Hicks: Material Voices
$25
A richly illustrated volume exploring Sheila Hicks’s groundbreaking fiber art through essays, reflection, and conversation.
Sheila Hicks: Material Voices offers a rich, multi-perspective look at over six decades of work by internationally renowned fiber artist Sheila Hicks. Known for her inventive use of color, texture, and woven form, Hicks has continually expanded the possibilities of textile as an artistic language. This volume brings together four distinct voices to illuminate her practice: Karin Campbell traces the evolution of Hicks’s work and its ties to lived experience; Ted Kooser reflects on the poetic and emotional resonance of her materials; Jason Farago explores her extraordinary approach to color; and a conversation between Hicks and Monique Lévi-Strauss recalls key influences from the artist’s early years.
Vibrant color reproductions and thoughtful essays make this book an inspiring resource for artists, designers, art students, and anyone drawn to the expressive potential of fiber, craft, and abstraction.
