Bonington Gallery is thrilled to present this spectacular exhibition from Japanese naturaltextile artist Akihiko Izukura.
LIFE in COLOURS documents Izukura’s practice; his philosophies of ‘Compassion for Life – Zero Waste’, generating minimal waste during the process of dyeing, spinning and weaving, and ‘Sun and Water Circulation’, using the natural
power of the sun and water to save energy.

His innovative and sustainable approach to fabric production includes natural dyeing, weaving, netting, braiding and entwining to create striking textile objects and fashion garments which will be on display as part of this exciting exhibition.

This exhibition will also coincide with the Senshoku-do workshop programme: Creating natural textiles with traditional Japanese techniques.
