Jeanne Akita

Inspired by the mesmerizing beauty of nature’s shapes and textures, while influenced by the classic arts and antique philosophy, I create unique seamless and reversible wearable art by fusing my art vision with ancient felting technique. Like 3D flexible fiber sculpture, each one-of-a-kind piece is meticulously created, using only hand agitation, soapy water, and hand-selected sustainable loose fibers such as the finest Merino wool, Tussah silk, Flax, as well as raw lamb’s fleece from the small local farms. To implement the art idea I use shibori dye method and brush painting on felted garments.
