テキスタイルデザインの巨匠・高橋正先生 @tadashi.takahashi.79 による多摩美術大学退職記念展示を観に行ってきました✨80年代〜現在に至るまでの歴代のテキスタイル作品が一挙に鑑賞出来るまたとない機会です。7mを超える天井から吊り下げられた個性的でエキサイティングな布は圧倒的な存在感を放ち、正先生の溢れ出るアイデアとプリント知識から繰り出される無限のデザインに感動しまくりでした！！作品の見せ方も大変勉強になります。 プリントの他に、軸となる貴重な原画や資料なども豊富。またシルクスクリーンの版で出来た立体物などテキスタイルデザインをやってきた先生ならではのウィットに富んだ作品もご覧頂けます。 そんな大先生も、ロブの絵をすごく褒めてくださって🥰ロブから影響を受けたドローイングなんかも新作に取り込まれて嬉しくなっちゃいました！ 会場ではロブキドニーの椅子もちゃっかり仲間入りしております。 展示は7/9まで多摩美八王子キャンバス内にて開催中。 テキスタイルは勿論、デザインやアートが好きな方は絶対行くべきオススメ展示です！！ #tadashitakahashi #高橋正#texiledesign #texile #art #graphicdesign #design #多摩美術大学 #テキスタイル #テキスタイルデザイン #グラフィックデザイン #robkidney #ロブキドニー (多摩美術大学 八王子キャンパス) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfrJCqzPYil/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There truly is magic in the mundane.

I love working with fibers. I feel like it was always in my life to end up here; with the wool.

The mundane magic worked by so many, many people throughout history. The literal thread that binds us to each other and to humankind's history.

A history grown from textiles! Where would humans be without the ability to adorn ourselves with color and cloth?!

huh you can dye textiles with olive leaves. apparently

don't love the colour it must be said. but I bet you could at the very least combine it with other natural dyes to get something more interesting.

This year i decided to do something different and aside from drawing and painting i also started wood carving, and yesterday i tried embroidery for the first time!

I decided that if i can learn to do somethinf right now i will stop telling myself "one day" until the excitement goes away.

I want to learn to make new things and make stuff i want to make :)

artiest research : Debbie smyths

one artist that I've been looking at this week is Irish textile and contemporary artist, Debbie Smyth. I have been looking into her work in creating 2d images using threads, strings and nails.

some pieces of hers that I have looked at for inspiration of my own work, is her piece " in full swing" (2013), which depicts people swinging through the use of her string and nails technique, and her pieces apart of the "maker in focus2 exhibition (august 2012) in the mission gallery.

I looked into this artist for research for my route/map piece, as I wanted to see how I could incorporated textiles into my project, while also showing the temporary nature of the roads and layouts of the city that we walk

Chose the one variety of this yarn only stocked in one store in my area that is an hour drive away. Ordering online means paying as much shipping as the yarn costs.

Some people I know are on the team for this project - it's all about setting up a wool and texiles hub in NZ so putting this up here in case anyone is interested in pledging!

Ive learned like 3 crochet skills in the past two weeks and i feel like ive been filled with so much raw energy i could benchpress a jeep. a whole new section of craft stores has opened up to me. learning how to do a basic granny square has given me enough power i could rip into someone's neck with my teeth at a moment's notice. i dont even intend to move on from the granny square. i'm whooping and hollering like im at a football game looking at these little square dudes. what the fuck. i didnt need another expensive hobby. i'm literally a quilter. do you know how expensive quilting is? even when i use recycled thrifted tired old fabrics? cheapy gross polyester batting instead of The Good Stuff? it adds up. i spent 5 whole canadian dollars on thread the other day and that spool will last me one quilt max. and yet i must persist. the siren call of fussy-cut squares and triangles lures me in no matter how hard i resist. But that's the thing: i dont even bother resisting. instead of rethinkin my hobbies I'm over here crawling through thrift stores like a gross little rat looking for 2.99 unstained sheets to use in more quilts. and now i have more motherfucking texile squares to deal with. im drowning in these squares and yet i love them so much i am emerging from my squares pile like a baby being birthed but instead of coming out of the womb crying i am coming out of my textile mountain cackling and writhing like i have a chainsaw in me. i am so mentally well and sane it's unreal

6 + 23 + 30 for the ask game please <33

6. do you prefer drawing or writing?

im inclined towards writing more but i do have a good time drawing !!! i have to say my preferred medium is more texile based <3

23. do you believe in aliens?

of course of course .... maybe they aren't little green men with those strange dark eyes and maybe they arent sentient but i do believe there are other forms of life out there !!!

30. what are you looking forward to in the near future?

the beautiful horror of another day !
