Strips of vintage kimono fabric—primarily silk, with cotton and wool blended throughout—are torn and rewoven into a richly textured surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist describes the motif as an albatross moving freely between dimensions. You can see it in the composition: arcs, lines, and bursts of color crossing a deep indigo-violet ground. The result feels both structured and spontaneous, with small areas of brightness emerging across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a wide range of fabrics are used, the texture varies throughout—some areas are smooth, others softly raised or slightly fuzzy. These variations are inherent to sakiori and part of what gives the piece its depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubstantial but flexible, it can be worn as a shawl, wrapped as a scarf, or used as a striking textile accent in the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandwoven using traditional sakiori technique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from reclaimed kimono textiles (primarily silk)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayered composition with shifting color and form\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTextural variation throughout the weave\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeft: Silk, cotton, and wool kimono fabric\u003cbr\u003eWarp: Cotton yarn (including slub and pile yarns)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 70\" long (178 cm), excluding tassels\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 15.5–17\" (40–43 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand wash gently (press, do not wring).
