Asami Kiyokawa -- Bijo Saishu

"Four Places-01"
Model: Yoko Maki

Asami Kiyokawa, an artist actively playing part in wide-ranging activities from art direction to production of artworks, gives a large-scale solo exhibition. Including her original works making good use of her handiwork, using thread and cloth as materials and photographs with embroidery, she has created quality works in different fields---clothing, space design, video, advertisement, illustration, etc. In her Bijo Saishu series, she collects beautiful women by photography and decorates them with embroidery or CG of animals and plants that remind her of that particular woman. This series has become her lifework. Along with her new series on the theme of extinct and endangered species, her new large-scale piece specially produced for this exhibition is on display.
