Gallery Event: Tsuru Textiles Festival 2014

Untold eons ago, when icy winds sliced across the arctic landscape and man and beast froze to death mere feet from shelter and the month was called February, I met some very talented textile crafters while accompanying my work at Acros Fukuoka. We chatted for a bit about art, paper, and fabric, and they mentioned possible future collaborations.
Like the fresh and fertile breath of Spring, that collaboration has arrived in the form of Tsuru Fest!
2014 will see the second annual Kurume Kasuri Textile festival in the city of Kurume in Fukuoka.

I'm excited (!) for a couple reasons
- Collaboration: I'm experimenting with combining Kasuri textiles with cut paper! I'll be working small at first, but if this works out, who knows where it could lead.
- More Collaboration: I've got some super-secret weirdo projects that, if they work out, will use some of the traditional Kasuri designs and patterns in cut paper.
- The Kurume Kasuri people are super-nice & super-talented
- I get to do a Demonstration on Saturday!
- Workshop! Sunday!
- Wine! Gallery Night from 7pm Saturday night
- This:
Actually, more bashful than excited…
Come by and enjoy the textiles, sewing, tradition, and paper! I hope to see you there.
