by Yuh Okano
Chestertown, MD
Yuh Okano is a textile artist whose pieces are inspired by a deep fascination with the natural world. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and is in its permanent collection. Yuh's pieces are invitingly tactile. They employ a range of color and texture that strives to be as subtle and finely detailed as the organic forms her works suggest. Their soft feel and gently flowing shapes evoke a sense of connection with plant life, flowers, and ocean creatures.
The vibrant petals look like they have been scattered by the wind, and the scarf's cotton-polyester blend and hand-pleated design accentuate this movement. The two-toned dye and devoré painting technique create semi-transparent petals, with the scarf surging into life like a tree that has been awaiting spring all winter long and finally blossoms in the warm air. The petals drift down, and the scarf is like a soft hand ready to hold onto the beautiful and ethereal energy of spring. Wearable for all occasions, this scarf floats with radiant light.
