Sashiko

Kusamehewa128/128

This artwork is inspired by Sashiko - meaning 'little stabs' - which is the traditional Japanese method of repairing fabric with elaborate embroidery designs. This method makes the original fabric thicker, more durable and more beautiful.
Here the plain coloured textiles take a back seat to the stitching, with simple palettes and layouts.
Keys 2, 3 and 4 will render the artwork at increasing resolutions.
