To make these works Hicks wraps bundles of undyed and brightly dyed linen thread at random intervals to form dynamic bundles suspended in space. Like an object found in nature, this sculpture combines both structure and spontaneity. Hicks has studied textile traditions in South America, Mexico, Morocco, and India throughout her six-decade career, and combines techniques of Indigenous cultures with modernist ideals to create her fiber works.",
