Exhibitions currently running:
Sheila Hicks - The artist describes her work as 'unbiased weaves', a phrase which not only reflects her fascination for language and poetry but her interest in classifications. Crucial components of Hicks's language include colour with embedded texture, and structure that employs unexpected materials such as recycled and reappointed objects from hospitals, rubber bands and porcupine quills. She fuses ancient textile traditions with the Bauhaus principles of colour, form and scale. Hicks also holds the firm belief that material be allowed to express its inherent nature. She avoids armatures, preferring to stack and twist her chosen materials: bound ropes, twisted skeins, steel wrapped bundles, intertwined lines of silk and cascading linen. Hicks's 'Minimes', a series of small, complex wall-based works, reflect her memories and observations of places and moments lived; whereas the large-scale monumental sculptures tackle complex architectural contexts often tumbling from ceilings or consuming the spaces in which they inhabit. From 24 May until 29 June.
