Sheila Hicks: Weaving as Metaphor
JULY 12 – OCTOBER 15, 2006

T he BGC’s first exhibition devoted to a contemporary artist, examines the small woven and wrought works that Hicks has produced for 50 years. With their distinctive colors, experimental and natural materials, and personal narratives, these intriguing weavings reveal the emergence and continuity of the artist’s inventive approach to textile media, and a unique connection between the artistic and design aspects of textiles.
