Announcement of Kanako Fuki's Exhibition at enoco, Osaka Prefectural江之子島 Cultural and Art Creation Center

In our daily lives, unspoken memories and the presence residing in worn-out tools and fabrics breathe quietly. Kanako Fuki has previously presented sculptural works using familiar materials and handicraft techniques, focusing on the landscapes of daily life and traces of human activity. This exhibition introduces works born from her residency at the Osaka Prefectural江之子島 Cultural and Art Creation Center [enoco] and the accumulation of time behind them. During her stay, a sewing playground called 'Nunoba' was opened, where anyone from children to adults could freely participate. By connecting diverse materials, mending tears, and drawing lines with thread—under the loose rule of 'creating through sewing'—time spent working with hands and dialogue overlapped, creating new stories. Focusing on fabrics used in daily life and fragments holding memories of travel, the exhibition traces the process of how they are tailored anew in different places and activities over time. While facing materials as clues to past lives, the records, dialogues, and daily realizations encountered during the stay are carefully woven into the production. 'Things to inherit,' 'things to send,' 'things to leave behind'—this activity of sewing together fragments of memory is also an accumulation of relationships born from the shared space of the workshop. The group of works, where individual hand movements take shape, will quietly resonate with each viewer's experience and serve as an opportunity to re-examine daily life.
