About this artwork
Using wool fibers, I punched needles and hardened them into the shape of my worn-out sneaker. Looking at the history of clothing, luxury was valued as a symbol of wealth and power rather than comfort. People have endured wearing high heels and corsets to look beautiful even though their legs and waist hurt. The Oiran clogs I made before this work are so tall and heavy that ordinary people cannot walk on them. In modern times, the code of clothing…
has become much looser. In creating this work, I observed my sneaker, and was surprised to find that a single sneaker had a variety of designs as well as functionality. I think sneakers that can be stylish without pain are a good new perspective.Recently, men and women of all ages are wearing sneakers in Japan. Sneakers are gender-neutral and age-neutral fashion that will lead the way in the future.

« I am an artist who earnestly learns various knowledge and techniques of textiles, digests them, and takes a unique approach to conventional thinking and methods to create innovative works. »
Aomi Kikuchi is an award-winning Japanese textile artist whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in the United States and South Korea. Her art is based on Japanese aesthetics and Buddha’s philosophy, which can be summarized in three central concepts: impermanence, insubstantiality, and suffering. Mesmerized by the beauty of Yuzen dyeing, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique for kimonos, Kikuchi devoted nearly three decades to learning the ten stages of its process, which she incorporates in her art.
