Spinning yarns with Sheila Hicks

A studio visit with Hicks, the eminent textile artist. Her best known “fibre sculptures” are large, some being installations for building foyers that “emulate the splendour of the natural world.” Hicks also has a liking for small works, including “little exercises in disobedience” that result from working with unruly thread.  This is, says the writer, a world of craftmanship and “slow adventure”, where finished objects “demand to be touched”.
