Sheila Hicks: Off Grid exhibition at the Hepworth Wakefield 7 April-25 September 2022.
From the Hepworth's website:
Sheila Hicks (b. Nebraska, USA 1934) is one of the world's foremost artists investigating colour, form and texture.
Drawing together over 70 works from international public and private collections, this major exhibition explores the many facets of Hicks’ ground-breaking work. They range from intimate minimes – small woven explorations that Hicks continually creates on a hand-held frame – to large-scale installations that fill spaces with voluminous form and vibrant colour. The exhibition spans Hicks’ career from her earliest works made in the 1950s to new site-specific commissions.
Off Grid reveals how Hicks’ extensive travels across several continents, where she immersed herself in local communities and studied vernacular textile traditions by observing and collaborating with local artists and artisans, together with her own experimentation and natural curiosity, inspired her to develop an unique artistic language. On display are little-known photographs and journals offering insights into the extraordinary range of cultural and aesthetic influences that have inspired her work.
Prestigious collaborations and commissions have enabled Hicks to collapse the boundaries between art, architecture and design. These have included commissions for the Ford Foundation headquarters in New York, King Saud University in Riyadh and the Cultural Centre of Fuji City in Japan as well as projects with IBM, CBS, Air France, Rothschild Bank, Bridgestone, Artek and Georg Jensen, several of which are examined in the exhibition.
For The Hepworth Wakefield, Hicks has created major new installations that respond to David Chipperfield’s architecture and the new Tom Stuart-Smith garden, where there is a specially-commissioned monumental sculpture of weather-resistant fibres.

Places & Things... around me.
I live in a small Western Maryland city/town. My alley neighbors are a hardworking and skilled couple with a beautiful son and daughter. Yes they have electricity, but they heat, and cook by harvesting wood from fallen trees. We have many trees in our very retro town.. In addition to a maintenance gig that requires he leave home around 4AM, He cuts and collects fallen wood. Not one penny to the oil barons! We do have cold winters from December to March... amazing dude. Before you smirk, he does not poison our water like the G.D. frackers who make the (un) Natural gas for you yuppies.
