The fabrics and installations of the American artist Sheila Hicks (born 1934) defy traditional notions of textile art. Hicks expands the language of sculpture, painting and the environment with new forms and dimensions. Inspired by the concepts of the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus, she dissolves the boundaries of medium and material and uses the historical techniques of knotting and weaving as a contemporary instrument to stimulate an intercultural dialogue and to create an awareness of the small deviations in the pattern make life interesting. With the publication Yarn Trees River, the artist outlines the connection between nature, textiles, architecture and space with works from the entire spectrum of her work. A sensational book designed to perfection!
