Undoubtedly one of the world's most renowned artists working with textiles, Sheila Hicks rejects the traditional boundaries that surround art, craft and design.
Her work moved towards textiles after being introduced to local weaving techniques as she travelled through Central and South America. For more than six decades she has been developing a body of work rooted in a creative exploration of traditional and non-traditional techniques associated with textiles in which she plays with patterns, divisions, asymmetry, varying degrees of tension in the fabric, and above all, color.
