Ruby Berry

RubyBerryRuby Berry is a Canberra-based textile artist who uses natural materials and traditional
processes to create sculptural textile works. She says this about her practice on an interview with Lip Magazine:

“My practice is about exploring how I can bring traditional textile materials and processes into the contemporary art world. My making revolves around traditional techniques, hand spinning and weaving, and transforming these techniques into sculptural art forms. I have recently begun experimenting with sensory work, exploring sight, smell and touch to create interactive and engaging spaces.  My recent work looks at how I could evoke a sense of protection and comfort through textile associations and sensory engagement.”

You can find Ruby Berry on Facebook and follow her blog on Tumblr.

Inspired by traditional Scandinavian rug weaving techniques she applies the same vibrant color palette in her collection of area rugs as well.

Mana Morimoto

ManaMorimotoJapanese textile artist, Mana Morimoto, is known for her quirky embroidery on paper and historical photographs. However, it is these pastel colored woven samplers that we find just as stimulating. You can follow Morimoto-san, aka MNMRMT, here on Tumbler and purchase her prints at Society 6.
