Sheila Hicks b. 1934, Hastings, Nebraska; lives in Paris and New York "Tapestry" 1977. Linen.

            at PAMM museum, Miami.
The large work was executed during an important period in the artist's career, when she began exploring artisanal and craft work from Africa and the Middle East. Under the auspices of the Moroccan Ministries of Applied Arts and Community Development, she traveled to Rabat to design rugs. Exploring various craft techniques within Tapestry, particularly through the making of large tassels, Hicks exaggerates and plays with traditional forms. The domed arc of the composition, as well as other shapes that she used during this period, reflect the influence of Islamic architectural motifs the artist studied in Fez, Marrakech, and Zagora. During this period, Hicks also traveled throughout Israel, visiting local workshops and kibbutzim. Her desire to reflect these myriad visual, cultural, and technical influences within a secular form led to the creation of a series of dramatic dense wall-based works, of which Tapestry is an outstanding example.
