Kay Sekimachi: Simple Complexity traces the pioneering fiber artist’s groundbreaking works from the 1960s to present day. Sekimachi’s poetic fiber sculptures combine a minimal aesthetic with sophisticated multi-layered weaves and forms, emphasizing the natural, evocative qualities of the materials she uses. 

Curated in close collaboration with the artist, this career survey draws from the collection of Forrest L. Merrill, which spans the diversity and range of Sekimachi’s work over the last six decades.
