Japanese artist Ayako Miyawaki (1905 to 1995) began creating appliqués after the end of World War II. After spending years in and out of bomb shelters, Miyawaki felt compelled to create with her newfound free time. At this time, appliqués were popular in Japan but were typically produced using patterns or copying designs from books. Miyawaki used everyday materials like rags and textiles: “...the way in which I began to produce my appliqué work was to create my own designs after natural objects I observed. It forced me to invent my own designs and methods.”
Throughout her life, Miyawaki exhibited works in group and solo exhibitions, including a solo exhibition at NMWA in 1991. 🐠
