| Doshi
Doshi creates exquisite hand dyed clothing in original designs that
range from contemporary to traditional. Shibori, an ancient Japanese
textile dyeing process, is the method she uses for her artistic
expression. The technique uses knotting, pleating, rolling, pressing,
or sewing during the dyeing process. The resulting designs are the
memories of the method used to resist the dye.
Doshi's wearable art is represented in numerous
galleries across the United States and in Europe. Her works have been
shown at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park in two solo
exhibitions; the Laguna Art Museum as part of California Contemporary
Craft; Wignall Museum (Ultimate Fiber); solo exhibitions at La Jolla
Fiber Arts Gallery and in trunk shows across the US. New works are
always featured at the La Jolla Fiber Arts Gallery in La Jolla, CA,
Santa Fe Weaving Gallery in Santa Fe and at the Atelier Show in New
York City in February and September.
Artist's StatementMy work in fiber arts reflects the
constant changes I experience in my personal and spiritual life. I use
my work to explore the forces of nature and the mysteries of the soul.
Color - the choosing and mixing of dyes - has become an important and
defining part of my process. Rather than planning my color palettes, I
try to work purely off instinct and intuition, allowing the colors and
combinations to spring out of the process rather than imposing any one
idea or schemata on each project.
