New Work: Sheila Hicks

Celebrated fiber artist Sheila Hicks brings her revolutionary practice to SFMOMA in her first solo museum exhibition, transforming the New Work gallery with an immersive site-specific installation. Drawing inspiration from her Paris home and travels across the globe—from weathered cobblestones to the dramatic cliffs of Ouessant—Hicks showcases her distinctive approach to fiber as monumental sculpture, featuring luminous woven forms, wrapped textile elements, and a striking central lighthouse-like structure that demonstrates her decades-long commitment to pushing the expressive boundaries of textiles at every scale.
