Pleasure in Land and Sea
Otani ChieJapanese, born 1951
The artist created the abstract shapes on this textile with a wax-resist (rōzome) technique. She first covered select areas of the cotton fabric’s surface with molten wax to prevent them from absorbing dye. Then she dipped the piece in a dye vat. She repeated the process to create each colored form.
