Weaving time - Introducing Tomoyo Tsurumi
Introducing textile fine artist Tomoyo Tsurumi, dedicated to fostering a sense of community through her art, researching historical contexts and the ways time and people shape our environments.
We are thrilled to introduce the work of Tomoyo Tsurumi, a textile designer-artist whose practice bridges Tokyo and London. With a deep foundation in textile design, Tomoyo explores the interactions between materials, people, and spaces, aiming to enhance sensory and contemplative experiences. Her work fosters a sense of community through art, researching historical contexts and the ways time and people shape our environments.
At On the Square, Tomoyo has collaborated using found materials from the abandoned house and Kvadrat’s deadstock to create one-of-a-kind fine art tapestries. These pieces embody the essence of transformation—breathing new life into forgotten fabrics and spaces.
Specializing in textiles, Tomoyo pushes the boundaries of weaving, experimenting with various materials to create atmospheric qualities that heighten sensory experiences. She views textiles as a language, poetically weaving elements into momentary shapes that stimulate the senses and expand imagination.
Her work embraces the transient moments in daily life and by manipulating architectural spaces with the fluidity of textiles, she activates sensorial experiences through subtle phenomena, inspiring an appreciation of the present while honoring the past and looking toward an evolving future.
We look forward to unveiling the house in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes glimpses and invitations to witness On the Square transformation firsthand.
