TALK WITH ​MARIKO KUSUMOTO

9/20/2022

 
PRIVATE DONOR EVENT
ARTIST TALK WITH 
​Mariko Kusumoto
​Tuesday, September 20 at 12noon
HOSTED ON ZOOM
​
Donors of the JRACraft Renwick Gallery 50th Acquisition Fund are invited to a private artist talk for Mariko Kusomoto.

Born in Kumamoto, Japan, and based in Massachusetts, Mariko Kusumoto prevails upon fabric to construct forms of elegant simplicity and evocative imagery. Her designs are incorporated into jewelry and sculptural pieces, as well as in collaborations with fashion designers; in January 2019, her work appeared on the Jean Paul Gaultier catwalk at Paris Haute Couture. Fascinated by the potential of different materials, Kusumoto strives to bring out each fabric’s inherent characteristics and beauty. Using a proprietary heat-setting technique, she gives the fabric a new identity through reshaping it into three-dimensional forms. In addition to finding inspiration in the material itself, she is motivated by the process of experimentation, during which accidental discoveries lead to new ideas.

JRACraft supported the acquisition of her necklace as part of the Renwick Gallery's 50th Anniversary Acquisition Campaign.
