Yoriko Murayama
I started my career by making kasuri kimono when I was a student at art university. I still weave silk and other yarns which are bound and dyed with natural dyes then woven into cloth, but not only kimono. Weaving textiles by using the warp and weft presents a restriction to us. But I think that to find a free expression in this restriction is my challenge.
