Introduction
The Japanese and Australian contribution to - ArtCloth: Engaging New Visions – will be on the blogspot for the next seven weeks, thereby completing the contributions to this exhibition
The catalog of the exhibition is far more detailed in terms of opening addresses and artist’s biographies, curriculum vitae and statements etc. and moreover, is a holistic record of the exhibition itself.
Synopsis of Artwork: Discharge Thundercloud
In the field of dyeing, there are many excellent traditional techniques in Japan. Having studied dyeing at university, I endeavored to depart from stereotypical expressions based on those established techniques. My emotions and the traces of my movement of spreading paste with the squeegee are expressed as beautifully dyed images on cloth, fully reflecting improvisation that was out of the question with traditional techniques.
Techniques
Discharge using paste, hydrosulfite on velveteen.
Size: 92 (width) x 400 cms (length); display size - 92 (width) x 300 cm (length).
