Sheila Hicks studied textile traditions in South America, Mexico, Morocco, and India throughout her six-decade career, and combines Indigenous techniques with modernist ideals to create her fiber works.

Description

Ephemera Bundle is part of a larger series by the pioneering fiber artist Sheila Hicks. To make these works Hicks wraps bundles of undyed and brightly dyed linen thread at random intervals to form dynamic bundles suspended in space. Like an object found in nature, this sculpture combines both structure and spontaneity.
