Print Textile Festival of cocca 2010

Photos from www.cocca.ne.jp.

Recently I sent some work to Tokyo, to my favourite printed textile store, cocca. They were inviting work for a summer competition: ‘Print Textile Festival of cocca 2010’. I feel very excited and honoured to discover that I have been awarded two prizes for my work – a Jury Prize, selected by Eguti Hiroshi (representative of a bookshop UTRECHT in Nakameguro) and cocca Special Prize “seeing Japan from abroad”.

There will be an exhibition, from Tuesday 24 to Sunday 29 of August, displaying the prize winners works at their shop in Daikanyama. If you’re in Tokyo please check it out!

Special thanks to my friend Jun for helping me out with translating all correspondence. x

I love this Iron Arm Chair 厳島東京タワー　夜. Wish I could buy it. Wished I’d seen it before we left Japan. Sigh. It’s from this little shop called Cocca in Daikanyama, Tokyo. Cocca sells amazing limited edition fabrics and related products. I used a fabric by Spoken Words Project for a cushion I made. They’d designed a whole collection of fabrics based on the polka dot. Really lovely work.
