Japanese Textile Works

The work of Kazumi Shinomiya from Kyoto, Japan, intrigued me.

I saw this piece at World of Threads. I liked the way the wall became part of her art work. I considered the shadow as part of this piece. It added interest and depth.

There will be some Japanese textile works (contemporary quilts) at the Verona Tessile festival in Verona, Italy, May 2015. (By the way, I have 5 travellers signed up for the trip already!)

I look forward to seeing their competence and proficiency. The works from Japanese textile artists and quilters that I have seen have always been executed with a precision and attention to detail that is notable.
