2005 is the 21st anniversary of NUNO
The NUNO company was founded in 1984. Since 1987, as Artistic
Director, Reiko Sudo has led the company and steered NUNO to a
position of international
pre-eminence.
Reiko Sudo's visionary combination of complex technologies, traditional
techniques and new finishing processes have created extraordinary
visual effects that have revolutionised textiles within interiors,fashion
and art.
Her textiles have visual wit, technical understanding and wild
fearlessness. For example: patination on steel fabric created by
high-powered naked flame applied directly onto the surface of the
cloth. Or rust from deliberately oxidised iron panels transferred
onto fabric shining beautifully with rust. There will be a full
education programme and book accompanying this exhibition.
