Fiber and book art by Nacogdoches, Texas based artist Candace Hicks will be shown in CSN’s Artspace Gallery February 16 through April 20. A reception with a talk by the artist and refreshments will be held February 26, starting at 6 p.m.

Hicks collects coincidences from the books she reads and gathers them in her artists’ books and installations. She says: “I once read two unrelated books in a row that both contained the phrase “black currant lozenge. Unlikely synchronicities seem to happen to me often, and that’s true in part because I expect them. My work centers on being a reader of fiction.”

She is a Stephen F. Austin State University Associate Professor of Art and Coordinator of Foundations.

The CSN Artspace Gallery is free, family friendly, and open to the public. Gallery hours are from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call (702) 651-4146.
