Concept
Stitching together the traces of memories that were never recorded.
I make works that stitch down with embroidery the things designed for consumption whose role within the system has ended, such as packaging, labels and the traces left behind in daily life, or fragments of memory that no longer even have a name. As if to give form to memory once its support is gone, I leave only the thread behind.
■ Shipping & Handover
・Works are handed over approximately 2-3 weeks after the exhibition closes. We will contact you by email once your work is ready.
・In-store pickup: the work can be collected in person at biscuit gallery (Shinjuku, Tokyo).
* This work is also offered for sale at the gallery, so depending on timing it may already have been sold.
About the artist
I stitch the traces of memories that were never recorded.
Packaging and labels designed for consumption and discarded once they had served their purpose within the system, residues left in daily life — or fragments of memory that no longer even have a name — I sew them in place with embroidery. As if to give form to a memory after its support has been lost, I leave behind only the thread.
