TextielMuseum
Fiber Futures | Art from Japan
The TextielMuseum in Tilburg Nertherlands is a restored factory with a striking glass entrance, for industrial & designer textiles. I had the opportunity to visit this amazing space yesterday and saw the current Fiber futures Art from Japan exhibition,an inspiring collection.
3 October 2015 till 7 February 2016
This Autumn the 
TextielMuseum presents ‘Fiber futures | Art from Japan’, a showcase of 30 Japanese artists at the cutting edge of the fibre-art scene. Covering wall hangings, sculptures, monumental installations, video and architecture, the works on display provide an understated, but at times exuberant picture of contemporary Japanese fibre art. All the featured artists, who include both newcomers and established names such as Jun’ichi Arai, Naomi Kobayashi and Reiko Sudō, use flexible materials that range from silk, washi paper, jute and hemp to steel wire, synthetic fibre and even recycled cocoons. Their methods show a deep respect for tradition as well as an openness to the latest weaving and dying technology.

Reflection

I am having a few days to rest & play after what has been an incredible creative journey so far this year, it is the first time I have stopped since March. Taking a bit of time to reflect and review, stepping back and taking stock. I am currently playing with ideas of how to push my creative practice forward and to focus on the areas I am happy with while enjoying some quiet time out. I have met some amazing talented designer makers along the way. A big thank you to all who have supported me, have stopped  by to say hello and have swapped their stories. There are new tiny beginnings appearing in my work for 2016.
