About
Momoka is a hands-on maker and textile artist who explores the connections between memory, time, and identity through her intricate woven works. She views the slow process of weaving as a metaphor for life, where the time and care invested shape our unique narratives. Each living thread contributes to the character of her woven fabrics, resulting in pieces rich with personal and collective histories. Inspired by the way memory is recollected and the decay that accompanies time, Momoka uses denim fabric as a symbol of positive time passage. By hand-cutting denim into 5mm strips, she crafts her weft, allowing the fabric’s inherent qualities to shine through. The subtle colours of her textiles, marked by fading textures and eroded areas, evoke the complexities of life stories and invite viewers to reflect on their own experiences. Through her artistry, Momoka creates a dialogue between material and memory, celebrating the narratives woven into the very fabric of our existence. Each piece serves as a reminder of the beauty found in transformation and the significance of the passage of time.
