Shihoko Fukumoto "The Path of Light" (1993)
Achieving a color as deep as what is referred to in Japan as “eggplant blue” is no easy task, and neither is re-interpreting traditional Japanese dye techniques for the 21st-century audience. Combining the two traditional Japanese crafts of shibori, tie dyeing with soft bokashi techniques of tonal gradation, Fukumoto creates works of luminous, transcendent beauty.
