Using the kasuri technique, Yoriko creates subtle contrasts within silk threads, where areas of unrefined fibre retain a distinctive translucency alongside scoured threads that become soft, white and lustrous. Through weaving, these contrasting qualities create layers of texture and allow light to pass through the cloth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe materials she works with often have their own particular histories. Her silk originates from Kyoto, where it was traditionally produced for kimono weaving, while her hand-spun ramie comes from Korea and her horsehair from China. Natural dyes, including indigo, madder and onion skin, bring out the individual characteristics of each fibre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYoriko is particularly interested in the skills and traditions at risk of disappearing as the number of traditional weaving houses and skilled makers declines. Rather than viewing these threads simply as materials, she considers them carriers of knowledge, memory and time. Through her work, she brings these different histories together, weaving new relationships between material, place and tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"morning-hanging-textile","title":"'Night' | Hanging Textile","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCombining unrefined silk, hand-spun ramie and horsehair, '\u003cem\u003eMorning\u003c\/em\u003e' brings together natural fibres from different places and traditions.
