In December 2023 I will have an exhibition "Reaching Hands". I am working on my knitwear collection of sweaters, accessories and knitted jewelry with collaboration of Japanese ceramic artist. The round shapes like pom pons, polka dot patterns and shape of hands like glove/pockets, mittens are incorporated in knitwear. Reaching hands through the globe for collaborations and creativity is a concept of the exhibit. For my jewelry pieces I am using round ceramic tiles for embellishment of knitted bracelets, bags, necklaces.
In this event, I would be very happy to share my work process of creating this collection with textile artists. The knitwear exhibition is taking place in December 2023 in small gallery of Kyoto, Japan. I will post the link to live event on my social media GalinaCarrollDesigns. Next year I would like to bring Japanese textile artists to New York and share their work here with possible collaboration between two countries.
