By-products / Silk reel rods, Kibiso ⎮ 2024
I use natural materials like silk reel rods, which are by-products of reeling silk from cocoons, and Kibiso, which is considered waste because one cocoon creates 3000m of silk but the first 10m is very rough. When I think of the characteristics of silk—the delicate and fine qualities—and the characteristics of waste silk such as silk reel rods and Kibiso, I find the contrast of the rough, irregular forms intriguing.
