JO ANNA HICKMAN
artwork by Jo Anna Hickman



 

Throughout my work, I use many personal experiences as a catalyst to express my thoughts and emotions. Painful or anxious, resolute or determined, many of these pieces are related to body expectations or personal perceptions. Through texture and surface, thickness and thinness, density and rhythm, I try to make inner vulnerability speak.

All of my pieces are primarily textiles, made from weaving, sewing, embroidering, or working with fabric design. Using these techniques, specific details and embellishments enhance overall compositions encouraging an audience to come in for a closer look. I believe this media manipulation and theme, in addition to the traditional woman's work of textiles, compliment each other to make interesting and thought provoking pieces.
