I wanted to think about something fun, so I shaped the positive thoughts that came to mind.
I made small s by cutting up indigo-dyed linen and connecting the thoughts that appeared in my mind, one by one, as if they were people.
I made this work with the idea that if you have something you want to cry about, you should let the tears flow. There's no need to hold back. It will surely make you feel better and free you up.
Every day when I work, I have the desire to make artwork that fluctuates in its expression.
When I am preparing to make something and before I consider what I want to actually dye, I start by looking within myself to discover what I am thinking, what I am feeling.
Indigo is a unique dye. It’s made by extracting lye from wood ash and using the lye in the process to ferment the indigo raw material called Sukumo. Indigo behaves like a living thing. You have to judge the condition of the indigo every time you use it.
You can change the number of times you dye something to control the intensity of the color. So every time I dye something, I ask the indigo to make a beautiful color for me.
At her Out of the Blue exhibition in Lyon, , Yoko Kamitani created indigo blue artwork that divided two rooms. The two-layer indigo blue linen cloth responded to the flow of air in the gallery to create a range of expressions. The show was highly praised by related parties in Lyon. She was accepted into the Nitten Exhibition from 2019 through 2022.
