Kyoko Kumai
Memory, Contemporary Japanese Woven Steel Sculpture by Kyoko Kumai

2017

About the Item

Memory, Kyoko Kumai, stainless steel filaments, 41” x 19” x 19”, 2017. This steel thread woven wall sculpture was constructed by Japanese fiber artist, Kyoko Kumai. "Thin pieces of stainless steel wire mass-produced in a factory are inorganic and monotonous by themselves, but when they are woven, twisted or bundled together they take on an organic appearance that serves to express various aspects of wind, air and light. The richly expressive fabrics that result do not stand solidly, cleaving the air. They have their source in textiles, which have their own language, fluttering above the floor, breathing and melting into the air." -- Kumai
