About this artwork
This is the image of nirvana. I work on Buddha's philosophy and know that the state of nirvana is the ultimate goal of our lives. The Buddha arrived there on his own for decades of practice. After enlightenment, he tried to help people from suffering. He preached to them that life is impermanent, insubstantial, and their craving creates suffering. I think for ordinary people, trying to go to nirvana is also a desire. People can live with calm minds…
just knowing Budda's teaching.
Aomi Kikuchi
Japan
« 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.
