Hiroko Takeda is paying attention. The acclaimed textile artist harnesses her phenomenological observations in her extraordinary, painterly weavings. Through her hand-looming process, she achieves harmony in contrasting materiality which asks the viewer to question their understanding of what a textile can and might be. Monotype’s diaphanous sheen evokes the properties of metal while its layered pattern injects a sense of motion. This polarity informs not only our experience of the piece, but perhaps of ourselves as well.
