Profile
2017 Yokohama University of Art and Design Sculpture Course Research Student Completion

Centered on textile production, the artist continues creating work with the texture and color unique to dyeing and weaving, as well as the background and stories of materials, as important elements.
The works are created using a technique called rag weaving, reconstructing ready-made products such as old cloth and vintage clothing into new fabric using a loom.
Finding possibilities in the appeal of textiles that expand as an expression method beyond industrial products, craft handiwork, and everyday utility.
