Kei Takemura

Sort by

Kei Takemura (b. 1975, Tokyo), lives and works in Tokyo. Kei Takemura‘s works are characterised by overlapping a layer of embroidered cloth on to a photograph or drawing. For the artist, the act of embroidery creates a state of being “tentative”; it transforms objects and places which no longer exist, and brings fragments of memory towards a tangible existence. In her “renovated xxx”, Takemura repairs broken objects using silk thread, transforming these “wounds” into objects of beauty. The series of works from “renovated xxx” deal with vessels, such as cups, plates, glasses, light-bulbs and teapots, that got broken by accident.

Her focus in 2020 rests on playing cards from different countries and eras, creating works that combine delicate stitching with the cards themselves and photographs of places that are both everyday and personally meaningful.
