The intricate 3D ‘machine drawings’ of Japanese artist Tetsuo Fujimoto are at the Daiwa Foundation Japan House from 12th November to 17th December 2008.
Fujimoto’s work is comprised of layer upon layer of stitches, an effect that changes depending on your closeness to each piece. He explains his art as ‘encompassing both the macro and the micro’… the overlapping lines lead us further inside.
Tetsuo Fujimoto, trained as a weaver, is now Professor at Division of Contemporary Art and Theory, Faculty of Art, Hiroshima City University.
The Private view of the exhibition is between 6-8pm on 12th November. Fujimoto also talks to Lesley Millar, Professor of Textile Culture, University for the Creative Arts on 14th November, at 2pm.
Viewing is free; the Daiwa House is open from 9.30am-5pm Monday-Friday. You can read more about the Private view conversation with Lesley Millar and book online here.
