지난 해

처음 Kotomi 상의 가방을 접하고, 한눈에 반해 작업을 요청드려 반년을 넘는 시간을 기다려 여덟 점의 작품이 도착했어요

뉴욕, 파리, 호주, 대만 등지에서 전시를 해 왔던 Kotomi 상의 작품을, 한국에 처음 소개되는 자리이기도 합니다.

제가 옷으로 주로 만드는, 사랑하는 소재인 리넨

리넨이라는 같은

소재에서 시작해

 

손으로 가방을 만드는 작업이라, 저에게는 더 흥미롭고 멋진 작업으로 다가왔어요.

It is a beautiful harmony of “ramie + the Lenten’s indigo” born from the project with Paris.
 The Lenten are the minority peoples living in the northern mountains in Laos.  “Lenten” means indigo dye.They grow cotton and dye from “sukumo” which is dye made of fermented indigo leaves.  Even it is very deep blue, it looks black at a glance which is its feature.  They dye with much time and much care.Then it becomes such a beautiful and deep color.  After watching them for a while, I feel like rami and indigo are in harmony in such a quiet and deep place as in the soil or on the seabed. 
I am very proud to present to you my works with a very strong presence.  Please take a look and touch them.

Kotomi Akatsuka works as a freelance florist and shop display designer. One day, she thought to herself, “I wish I could find accessories that were more special and looked better on me.” She searched for the perfect items, but couldn’t find the right fit. “Then why don’t I just make it myself?” That’s how she founded matka. In 2007, she discovered the Ramie material (a grass fiber), and started to make bags and accessories with it. Since then, she went on to organize art shows and workshops around Japan.This time, Mrs. Akatsuka helped Norm select spring and summer items, starting with the 100% Linen Sacoche Bag. During these seasons, the less you have when you leave the house, the better.matka's sacoche bag is very light, but also quite firm. In order to achieve this combination, Mrs. Akatasuka spent a good deal of time researching the knitting and trying different approaches.
