Two Home Countries is the first solo museum exhibition in the Bay Area by Chiharu Shiota, best known for large-scale installations that fill spaces with densely woven webs of colored fibers. Featuring works from throughout Shiota’s career spanning installation, sculpture, video, drawing, and stage design, the exhibition offers a timely meditation on belonging, impermanence, and living with “in-betweenness.”
The Asian Art Museum will be hosting me for this workshop as part of their public programs in alignment with Shiota’s exhibition. We’ll be learning sashiko tote bags.
