By Heather on Friday, March 3rd, 2006
i saw images of this artists’ work in a magazine, but cannot find decent ones online. bah. must find that magazine again, or maybe have a look at this book of her work.
清川あさみ Kiyokawa Asami machine-sews different pieces of fabric together; varying texture, color. they look like impressionist paintings. one image i saw showed all the stitches going in a vertical direction, and all of the pieces cut in a leaf shape, layered over each other- and shades of colour, in a gradient… it was lovely. Her official website is at http://www.mili.jp/asami.html
she is having a show in shibuya at logos gallery 17 mar - 9 april. wish i could be there.
