“Color speaks for itself. It either grabs you or alienates you. Everyone has a different color. It’s like food. It’s like music. You’re attracted or you walk out of the room.” — Sheila Hicks

For the 100th episode of Friedman Benda’s epic, COVID-launched, Design in Dialogue series, Glenn Adamson – joined for this episode by co-host Stephen Burks – speaks with the inimitable textile artist Sheila Hicks at her home and studio in Paris.

From Friedman Benda:

For our 100th episode, we have the honor of welcoming the great Sheila Hicks. Over the course of her six-decade career, Hicks has evolved a practice of grand dimension and profound implication. Drawing on textile traditions worldwide, she creates works ranging from the miniature to the monumental, offering wholly new vantages on key artistic variables: structure, materiality, color, texture, space. Please join us for what promises to be a revelatory conversation, and an important milestone in the Design in Dialogue series.
