MEMORY ON CLOTH SHIBORI NOW |
Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada is a world renowned textile artist and teacher who has shared her love of Japanese textile arts with a wide audience for many years. This oversized art book is a monumental homage to the art of Shibori, the technique of manipulating cloth to produce shapes, the technique is now known as "shape-resist process." The author shows us the wide scope of the technique, including examples from high fashion as well as fine art. The shibori tradition has inspired textile artists and fabric designers for many years, and this book can be seen as the premier presentation of the state of the art today. For the textile enthusiast this book is a treasure and well worth the high price. It is a book you will read through slowly, savoring every amazing example, a book you will set out on your table for others to enjoy. A more complete discussion of shibori does not exist. Although the emphasis of the book is presenting the art, there is a complete section on the how-to's of the process of shape-resist as well as lists of resources and organizations involved in promoting and collecting shibori pieces.
