Textile exotic: the amazing creations of Mariko Kusumoto

The incredible textile sculptures are created by a talented artist named Mariko Kusumoto. The craftsmanship's creations can be called a real work of art. Exotic plants and inhabitants of the deep sea amaze the viewer with their beauty. Colors and geometry of shapes create the illusion of being in a magical world between dream and reality.

All fabric compositions are performed by Mariko by hand. The main material that the girl works with is airy polyester and translucent nylon.

My sculptures are reflections of what touches the strings of my soul and makes my heart beat faster. It may be some kind of natural phenomenon, or it may be artificial. I am transforming emotions into something new. I add elements of both realism and surrealism to them. Grace, intrigue and surprise are inherent in my work. The viewer most often sees lightness, positiveness and expression in them. But there is also room for imagination. I like it when people are surprised when they look at sculptures, ”the author notes.



The craftswoman chose the material for her compositions for a reason: polyester fabrics are distinguished by elasticity, strength and lightness.

Sculptures are not the only thing that the craftswoman creates from nylon and polyester. The girl pays a lot of attention to making original jewelry. The Mariko collection is represented by beads, bracelets, earrings, rings and brooches. The artist folds the fabric into spheres and hemispheres, and then combines them into one whole.

Delicate and more romantic textile adornments enjoy increased attention. The craftswoman has many fans who follow her activities through social networks.
