売却されて着用価値の低くなった着物、もしくは破棄される着物が多く存在している現代に対して、新しい着物の形やあり方を古着の着物に染色等を施すことで模索しています。
着用ではなく鑑賞価値が付加されつつある現代の着物に合わせたイノベーションを行い、纏う事を前提としない着物や平面作品をアートピースとして発表。伝統的な技法を尊重しながらも時代と共に変化する新しい作品へと美しく昇華させることを目的に制作する過程で、錆と植物染料を併用した新しい染色技法を開発。また、布と他素材を組み合わせることで染の枠を超えたオブジェ等の制作や、一風変わったよい意味でらしくない現代をイメージした着物の制作など、染色表現の新たな可能性の模索も積極的に行っています。

In response to the presence today of numerous sold-off kimonos that have low value for wearing or kimonos disposed of as waste, the artist seeks out new forms and uses for kimonos through dyeing of used kimonos and other techniques. Through innovations suited to the kimonos of today, which increasingly are being valued for purposes of art appreciation instead of wearing, she introduces kimonos not necessarily intended for wearing as well as kimono-based works on planar surfaces, as pieces of art. Through the process of creating such works based on her goal of beautifully sublimating kimonos into new works of art that change with the times while respecting traditional techniques, she has developed a new dying technique that combines rust with plant-based dyes. In addition, by creating objets d’art and other works extending beyond the framework of dyeing, through combination of cloth with other materials, and kimonos that transform how we view today in beautiful ways, she also proactively seeks out new possibilities for expression using dyes.
