Masakazu Kobayashi Mixed Media

Japanese, 1944-2004
In their collaborations, Masakazu Kobayashi and his wife, Naomi Kobayashi, generally created individual works that were installed together. Kobayashi explained: "These works express a shared vision and such common themes as the tranquility of nature, the infinity of the universe and the Japanese spirit. Naomi and I work in fiber because natural materials have integrity, are gentle and flexible. In my own work, I search for an equilibrium between my capacity as a creator and the energy of the world around me. When I am able to find this equilibrium, my works exist on their own. Among the works I have created are projects that incorporate several styles and emphasize primary colors. In creating such combinations, I want the viewer to experience the resonating chords that come from each element of the work." Selected permanent collections and exhibition venues: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio; National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Japan; Central Museum of Textiles, Lodz, Poland; Victoria & Albert Museum, London, England; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem (Textile Magicians – traveling exhibition); National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan; American Craft Museum, New York, New York; Lausanne, Switzerland (International Biennials of Tapestry); Mie Prefectural Art Museum, Japan; Gunma Museum of Modern Art, Japan (Sound of the Cosmos-2000); Bankfield Museum, Halifax, England (Textural-SPACE – traveling exhibition). Recipient: Ministry of Culture & Art Prize, 2nd Inter-national Textile Triennial, Lodz, Poland; Outstanding Award, International Textile Competition, Kyoto, Japan; National Museum of Modern Art prize, 1st Enba Exhibition, Japan.

"How Does My Hair Look?" Assembled hair scrunchies, vibrant, synthetic fibers

By Sarah Detweiler

Located in Philadelphia, PA

"How does my hair look?" is an original piece by Sarah Detweiler made from scrunchies, synthetic hair, and yarn. This piece measures 32" diameter. Detweiler has found catharsis and joy in recalling her own experiences as a child of the 80s and a teen of the 90s, during what seemed like a simpler time. Likewise, the "Memory Palace" collection offers a reprieve from the strange and complex reality of life in the 21st Century, for adults and children alike, inviting viewers to fall “down the rabbit hole” into a warped reimagination of vignettes from Detweiler’s youth. The exhibition title refers to a mnemonic memorization technique known as the “Method of Loci” through which information is retained and retrieved by conscious mental association with a specific physical location. In the context of Detweiler’s work, each painting, object, and installation functions as a “room” in the artist’s “memory palace,” with specific memories encapsulated therein. The visual representations of Detweiler’s memories are skewed from reality, like the memories themselves, from super-sized silly putty to hand-stitched static from the late-night glow of a television set. About Sarah Detweiler Sarah Detweiler is a Philadelphia area-based visual artist translating her experiences into figurative and narrative mixed media paintings. She has a BFA in Visual Communications from University of Delaware and a master's degree in Art Therapy from Pratt. Sarah is an award-winning artist who has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions in galleries across the country and virtually. She exhibits regularly at Paradigm Gallery in Philadelphia where she has had 2 sold out solo exhibitions. Her work has also been seen on television and film...
