Cosmo

This work is inspired by a galaxy expanding in the night sky. The tate-yoko-kasuri (vertical and horizontal kasuri) gathered in the centre of the pattern gives depth to a flat design. By layering natural indigo dye over 40 times and adding light indigo, deep hues and a sense of transparency are created. This contrasts with the white of the kasuri and expresses both dignified strength and unique softness.
