SHEILA HICKS: 'Weaving as Metaphor' designed by IRMA BOOM.

This intriguing book offers the opportunity to contemplate what has developed since it was first published in 2006. Irma Boom best describes it when she points out that the publication reads as a ‘manifest’, an explanation of the vital need for a printed book in the age of digital production. The book studies the small woven and forged works by artist Sheila Hicks of the last fifty years. With their characteristic colouring, well thought compositions and story, these miniature creations reveal the rise and continuity in the approach of the work by this artist. Internationally recognised for her command of a textile vocabulary of enormous scale, sculpture, wall tapestries, location-specific assignments for public space, settings with recovered clothing and uniforms and more. Hicks carefully made miniatures during her nomadic career. The works the size of a hand present an account of her amazing and personal journey.
The book concentrates on roughly a hundred miniatures in public and private collections. The book contains essays by Arthur C. Danto, Joan Simon and Nina Stritzler-Levine, as well as illustrations of the tools of an artist, related drawings, photos and chronology.

This is the fifth edition. Format: 22 x 15.5 cm. 415 pp. The book is in superb condition.
