Candace Hicks works primarily with fabric arts, notably embroidery on canvas. Her use of this long-established medium is highly innovative as we see in her faux composition notebooks.
They're not static images. You (or, better, a museum curator) can open them to reveal personal journals in fabric form.
The embroidered composition notebook is Hicks's primary use of this medium, but she can warp this form in radical ways, such as a composition notebook made to resemble a remarkably lifelike human vulva. But what I've instead chosen to include above is a piece titled Notes on String Theory which twists time and space.
You can see more of Hicks's work on Instagram.
