There is also strong reference to Japanese folk art such as Boro textiles as a means of recycling or re-purposing materials. Through using a range of materials such as linen, cotton, silk, and jute, as well as re-purposed domestic fabrics, the works look to explore the aesthetic and functional properties of the materials.
