2008. In the 1980s Sibby took the lead in publication with Norman, and, in
conjunction with major museum exhibitions wrote <i>From Myth to Creation: Art
from Amazonian Ecuador</i> and edited <i>Imagery and Creativity:
Ethnoaesthetics and Art Worlds in the Americas.</i> More recently, she
collaborated with Norman in three books, contributing a major article on
Amazonian and indigenous art in each: <i>Millennial Ecuador: Critical Essays on
Cultural Transformation and Social Dynamics</i>, <i>Puyo Runa: Imagery and
Power in Modern Amazonia</i>,<i> </i>and<i> Histories of the Present: People
and Power in Ecuador</i>.</span></p>
