"This tied, unrefined silk retains a distinctive hard translucency, while the scoured thread turns white and lustrous, taking on a soft, full texture. This contrast creates a depth filled with light and a quiet presence that rises within the cloth." 

- Yoriko Murayama

"The satin qualities of my work add to the feeling of something artifactual, like they've been weathered and ground down over time. I want the material to feel like they're something of time and movement and landscape and light."

- Celia Dowson
