Lynette Haggard Art Blog: Woven, Crumpled, Suspended: Sheila Hicks. A few weeks ago, I saw an ad in Art New England for the Hicks 50 Year Retrospective Show at the Addison, and the next day, I scurried up to see the show.
You can read more about it on boston.com. The show is up in Andover until February 27, and then traveling to: University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA March 25 - August 7, 2011 Charlotte, NC October 1, 2011 - January 29, 2012 Hicks was born in 1934 in Nebraska. The show is wonderfully curated, with a range of work from small weaving studies to large scale suspended or piled work, some of her tools and sketchbooks, and video.
I found my voice and my footing in my small work. This was the first time I had in-the-fiber exposure to Hicks' work. Prior to this, I just kept leafing through the Sheila Hicks: Weaving as a Metaphor book, (about which I recently posted). This piled piece is one of my favorites, in a room with a couple of other similar ones, but with different color palettes. I had a tinge of sorrow while at this show.

Photo: Mary Stark Profile: Jane McKeating Jane's current work takes the form of small tactile rag books. Presented as visual narratives they utilise print, hand stitch and cloth to illustrate snapshots of the past present and future. More details Jane grew up in Nottingham with a passion for drawing anything and everything; drawing now feeds naturally through to cloth in print and stitch and often feeds back to drawing again.
Having spent 20 years making work for walls Jane has more recently developed her textiles into a series of rag books, which she feels have a more tactile emphasis. Jane has recently published 'Machine Stitch Perspectives' jointly with Alice kettle and together they have just completed the companion volume 'Hand Stitch perspectives' due to be published by Bloomsbury in 2012.
