Yoriko Murayama

Japanese Textile Artist

Japanese Textile Artist using the familiar form of a house. Its nostalgic landscape is woven using Ikat techniques with natural dyes, plane weaving, silk and abaca.

“I MAKE FIBRE OBJECTS BY FOLDING AND MANIPULATING THE CLOTH WITHOUT CUTTING. THESE WORKS ARE OFTEN FAMILIAR SHAPES THAT MAKE US REMEMBER OR RECALL A SPECIFIC OBJECT. I EXPRESS MYSELF IN MY WORK AND EXPLORE IDEAS AROUND A MEMORY.”

- Yoriko Murayama
