The warp and weft of poetics in 'Sheila Hicks: Lifelines'

"Banisteriopsis-Dark Ink" (1968-1994) is reproduced from Lifelines, the Centre Pompidou's highly anticipated 60-year Sheila Hicks retrospective. "Textile acts as the common denominator between art and life," Michel Gauthier writes, "from clothes to sculpture by way of architectural integrations. But textile is also a material whose characteristics keep the work alive—in open, ductile form. As though this warp and weft of poetics were granting more than one meaning to life."
