Denim Art

I thought this was a very creative use of denim, a medium that I would have never thought of using for art. Kumi Yamashita created released these two new works she created. The first one, titled Mana #2 is part of a Constellation series. This picture is created using a single denim colored piece of thread that is wrapped around hundreds of galvanized nails in a pattern to create a child's face. The second, is titled Mother #2 in which Kumi has taken a black piece of denim and cut pieces away until she has her portrait. Not only can one appreciate how much time these must have both taken to make, but also appreciate how visually stimulating they are.
