Colour photographic illustrationst. Shizuka Kusano's canvases are kimono, obi and tapestries, on which she creates extraordinary compositions in brilliant colour and subtle tones, with a rich contrast in textures. Her themes are drawn from Japanese poetry, literature, and art, as well as traditional seasonally-oriented motifs such as trees, flowers, birds, and streams. Working exclusively with silk threads and fabric, and delicately balancing the use of space in her composition, Kusano's designs achieve the sophistication for which the best Japanese art is known.
