Features

Fabric Jokey

As a fabric jockey (FJ), Asako Iwamizu is engaged in artistic activities using fabrics. Like a DJ who connects music with music, Asako Iwamizu connects fabrics with fabrics, selecting fabrics from all over the world and creating various works of art just like music.

*"Kimekomi Art," a representative series

Inspired by the 300-year-old Japanese traditional technique of "Mokumekomi Dolls," Iwamizu Asako has created a new world of pop art. Using a wide range of fashion, traditional crafts, cutting-edge technology, and scrap wood, we fuse old and new materials into a single work of art. Textiles have been a familiar and important element in our lives since ancient times and are universal. Through works that remind us of their appeal and importance, we educate people about social issues such as mass consumption, excessive packaging, and shortened product life cycles without regard for the global environment. His colorful and pop artworks are full of mysterious charm that naturally makes people smile, and have been highly acclaimed by galleries in Japan and abroad.
