description: "Sheila Hicks is an American artist and a pioneering figure in fiber art. Working across six decades, she expanded the scale and ambition of textile practice from small hand woven works to monumental hanging columns made up of vibrant fibers that occupy architectural space. Her work crosses the boundaries between art, architecture, and site responsive installation, and is held in major public collections all over the world."
