Neda Al-Hilali (born 1938) is an American fiber artist.
Al-Hilali was born in Cheb, Czechoslovakia and has lived in Baghdad. [1] She moved to southern California in 1961. She trained as an artist in Europe, and extensively at the University of California Los Angeles. [2]
Her early works in the 1960s consisted of flat weavings and knotted hangings. These were followed by large, room-filling installations and a series of giant brown-paper "Tongues" installed on Venice beach. [2] [3]
Al-Hilali has described her work as "foot tracks of prolonged attention and energy," as each requires many hours of intensive handiwork. [1] [2]
Her work is in the collections of various museums, including the Renwick Gallery, [4] Museum of Arts and Design, [5] and Utah Museum of Fine Arts. [6] Her papers are at the Archives of American Art. [7]
