About this artwork
Everyone knows obesity is bad for health. It is easy to understand the fact, but avoiding a bad eating habit is a different story. As long as we enjoy our life with instant pleasures, it is hard to escape from this danger. Feeling excessive stress also leads us to overeating and heavy drinking. We call ourselves, Homo Sapiens, which means "wise man" in Latin. Actually, there is no obesity in nature. I wonder why we can not control our fat if we are… truly wise enough.
I depict a frog which looks like a fat guy, and a butterfly with an American flag pattern symbolizing the country of obesity.
« 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.
