MY CELLS

WATER, THE MOON, FLOWERS AND LEAVES

I studied traditional Japanese dyeing and weaving techniques, including shibori, kasuri-ikat, and katazome, and developed these methods to create 3D art pieces. I earned a Constructed Textile degree from Seian College of Art and Design in Kyoto. I then pursued further studies in the Tapestry department at Edinburgh College of Art, obtaining the master degree in tapestry. My love for the beautiful modern tapestries created by British tapestry artists inspired me to enhance my weaving skills there.

I prefer to express my thoughts and everyday experiences through woven pieces rather than drawings or paintings, as this approach brings the tactile nature of the art form to life. Currently, I am exploring traditional methods and learning how to adapt them for modern applications.
