When I look at old embroidery patterns, I sometimes find everyday goods from each era drawn in them. Designs that we in the present day may group together simply as "antique" were, at the time, deeply connected to people's lives. Life Pattern Korea. In fact, they probably reflected the new trends and cultures of their day. Then what about the things around us now?
When I suddenly look around, I find myself surrounded by items in all kinds of designs: "handicraft tools with cute shapes," "stationery with interesting shapes," "vessels with artistic shapes," and more. I wondered what it would be like to look again at things designed with this modern sensibility and reinterpret them as embroidery motifs, so I worked out the patterns while thinking hard in all sorts of ways. Life Pattern Korea. Someday in the future, if by some chance my works remain and are called "antique patterns," and if there is a world where people of that era create new embroidery from them, I think that would be wonderful.
This book brings together the embroidery pieces I made while thinking about such things. I would be happy if you enjoy embroidering them while imagining scenes from everyday life. Life Pattern Korea.
