Art Treasures of Nebraska: Sheila Hicks


Listen Later

Menhir II hangs in a forest pattern of 23 separate fiber strands to compliment its Old French Breton definition "standing" stone. The long strands are hand-wrapped and spliced linen fibers, with bright colored wool and cotton used as binding elements. Draped from the ceiling, the linens gather and cascade onto the floor. Hicks' linear textile sculpture is an art treasure of Nebraska at the Museum of Nebraska Art.
