Sheila Hicks - Lignes de Vie. Lifelines

With works ranging from tapestry to sculptures, from architectural decoration to installations, Sheila Hicks is a truly legendary figure of textile and installation art. A Hicks piece may deploy traditional fibres like cotton, wool and silk alongside, for example, porcupine quills, feathers or steel fibres; equally unexpected is the often monumental scale of her works, which frequently respond to the architecture surrounding them.
