Sheila Hicks is an American fiber artist and weaver whose practice spans sculpture, installation, and architectural textile design. Working primarily with cotton, linen, and wool, she creates monumental woven forms and wall-based compositions that treat thread as a sculptural material capable of defining space. Since the 1960s, her tactile abstractions have challenged the distinction between craft and fine art, establishing weaving as a medium of architectural and conceptual ambition. Her work engages color theory, geometry, and the spatial properties of suspended and wrapped textiles.
