The Western Australian State Government is honoured to support the Re: a prefix exhibition in celebration of
the 30 year anniversary of the WA-Hyogo Sister State relationship.
I am delighted that both the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art and the Western Australian Museum have
elected to commemorate this anniversary, and support the creative industries, by presenting the work of 50
highly regarded Western Australian and Japanese textile artists. I congratulate all of the artists and curators
involved.
I hope that you enjoy the exhibition, and that it inspires an increased appreciation of the thriving textile design
cultures of Japan and Australia, and a deeper understanding of the value of international cultural exchange.

…a concept
a prefix, occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, used with the meaning “again” or “again and
again” to indicate repetition, or with the meaning “back” or “backward” to indicate withdrawal or
backwards motion: regenerate; refurbish; retype; retrace; revert.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/re)
Re: a prefix. The concept for this exhibition encapsulates the notions of repetition and reflection. It builds on the
[re]view of past exchange exhibitions which investigated ideas such as the ‘miniature work’ and ‘folding’ that have been
developed over the past eighteen years by Textile Exchange Project (TEP) and Kyoto International Contemporary
Textile Arts Centre (KICTAC). The ‘prefix’ to this and past exhibition development has always been exchange; the
exchange of culture, thinking and ideas. Artists were invited to reflect on either their involvement in past exchange
exhibitions or their engagement in the scope and nature of fibre/textile practice.
TEP and KICTAC have collaborated on the development and presentation of Re: a prefix to join in the 30 year
celebrations of the Sister State relationship between Western Australia and Hyogo, with the exhibition being presented
at the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art and the Western Australian Museum – Perth during 2011.
Works presented in this exhibition have been created by 50 highly esteemed and recognized Western Australian and
Japanese fibre/textile art practitioners, the majority of whom have participated in past exchange exhibitions. In
recognition of the 30 year celebration of the Sister State relationship, artists were invited to develop a miniature work, no
larger than 30x30x30cm. The works in this show are a response to the exhibition theme/concept and reflect the diversity
of contemporary practice in this field.
Re: a prefix brings together works from Western Australia and Japan that [re]flect on the rich universal traditions
embedded within contemporary fibre and textile practice.

Artist Statement
For my recent works, I am trying to show the various aspects of green‟s face by printing an image of a familiar green
and reflecting it in mirrors. I hope to express it in multifaceted way in such a manner that each angle of mirrors gives
the green a different face and, at the same time, the viewer is also reflected in the mirrors.

Artist Statement
Living and working every day in a beautiful natural environment stimulates the senses and soothes the soul and the
combination of these is possibly only experienced by a privileged few. Yet, as I travel further afield I am made more
aware of the rendering of nature into fewer and smaller parts until it is almost obliterated. Nature is a casualty of
humanity’s uncontrolled growth yet it is still our supreme symbol of the sublime even as it suffers a thousand cuts and
lies slowly bleeding in front of our eyes. Still, its life force and powers of regeneration continue to offer comfort and
hope in the face of humanity’s apparent indifference.
Artist CV
Margaret Ainscow has built a broad based textile practice that oscillates between painting and the manipulation of fibre
and fabric. She has exhibited widely in Australia and overseas and has represented Australia in a number of
international textile exhibitions while working as a university teacher, writer and curator in the field. Her current work
draws its material and content from sources reflecting her geographic location on the south coast of WA.

[Maggie BAXTER]
Artist Statement
My Mother and most of my Aunts were excellent knitters and during the 1950’s and 1960’s knitting was an integral part of clothing
our family. However, I showed no interest in learning how to do it until the 1980’s, when as an art student, I overcame this prejudice
and used the technique to make de-constructed, organic, cobweb like compositions and small knitted silver wire jewellery.
After a gap of almost thirty years, this project sees a return to using knitted textures. Unlike my Mother’s careful attention to stitch
and detail Drift began without a known end purpose, focusing on holes and the spaces between stiches, then building upwards to a
bricolage of texture, materials, found objects, and drawing.

Artist Statement
She continues to swim fearlessly in the deep ocean of her life, and relishes the cold, which seeps into her bones to
remind her of what she almost lost. When warmth returns, and her body stills from its trembling, she feels truly alive.
I wrap and encase the hand wrought framework, and fix the fine layer of bandage to these supporting curves. Working
gently, always gently. The leaves, part of the prayer for healing, for recovery, stitch themselves into this bone, allowing
it to be offered now, with gratitude.

Artist Statement
Olga has collected, folded, stacked and stored blankets in her studio for years. This fascination is linked to an ongoing
questioning of the past, discarded histories, customs, and traditions, forgotten until reclaimed by the blanket’s new role
in her work. Olga constantly questions whether she wants to reclaim history, if history is worth reclaiming and how much
of it is just subjective narrative? Does history explain why we are here, who we are and why we do the things we do to
each other, or is history merely a paper backdrop to our existence? (by Paola Anselmi)

Title: Matrix Blossom I 2011
Dimensions: 25 x 25 x 30cm
Materials: Powder coated aluminium, spray-paint
Photographer: Elizabeth Delfs
[Elizabeth DELFS]
Artist Statement
“I am an interdisciplinary artist and my practice sits between garment construction and the built
environment. Work explores the rendering of space through objects that vacillate between
habitations and figurative sculpture articulated by the exchange of qualities from the body and the
built environment. Installed works create an unfamiliar sensuality by erupting from surfaces recalling
corporeal and architectonic topographies. Non-orientable surfaces orchestrate interplay of
reconfigurable forms which imply continuous expansion and protracted stillness.”
My practice explores the nature of constructed space and how perceptions of our environment are built. The Matrix
Blossom series represents the embryonic stages of my process in which I create small scale maquettes to explore how
form and surface come together to construct space, and is therefore a visual ‘prefix’. The overlay of stencilled images
with the folding process and material combines to evoke prismatic movement and changing mass in the structural
support and shifting surface.

[Michelle EASTWOOD]
Artist Statement
A Perspex box is constructed to contain layers within layers. On each layer are the vehicles of memory in the form of tiny pieces of
fabric. Under the reflection of my mother’s shadow is glimpsed the handiwork of my grandmother’s lace doilies. In the inner layer
of the Perspex box is the image of me as a child made up of the lacework, embroidery and crochet from my mother and
grandmother.
Stepping out of the shadows of the past generations women’s domestic work is recast in the work of the women today. My
mother’s and grandmother’s skills in various textiles such as embroidery, lacework and crochet have passed down through the
generations to influence my love of textiles today. Forgotten or fractured memories are glimpsed as they pass through the
generations; to create something new from a shared past history.

[Sharyn EGAN]
Artist Statement
When I was little I apparently contracted pneumonia while being treated for tuberculosis and spent about eight months in
hospital. I only discovered this in my fifties after reading my paperwork; paperwork that is held in the Department of
Indigenous Affairs.
Up until 1967 Aboriginal people’s lives were controlled in every aspect by the Native welfare and as such my life was
affected by this government policy.
I have suffered great loss having had with no contact with parents. The alienation of being placed in strange surroundings,
away from all that is familiar. I never got to meet my parents again.
‘Sharyn was removed immediately’ and was in foster care for two years until she was old enough to join her sister in Saint
Joseph’s Orphanage at New Norcia.

People have been talking about “harmonious
coexistence between human and nature” for a long time,
nature, however, has continued to be destroyed to date.
Nov. 16, 1952
Nature is suffering and is colorless as if robbed of its
color.
Yet I believe nature will someday recapture her own
beauty and once again will encourage and hearten us.

[Barbie Greenshields]
Artist Statement
Approximately one to two percent of the entire human population has naturally red hair. I am one of them. The country whose
population has the highest percentage of naturally red-haired people is Scotland. I am descended from those people. My red hair
is material evidence to me of my connection with a far distant place and far distant others.
I had collected my shed hair for five years. I took it with me on an artist’s residency in Scotland.
Keep Safe developed from an activity I pursued for three months while travelling in Scotland. As my hair had become an indexical
sign of myself, of my identity, I surreptitiously placed single cocoons in discreet places throughout the country, as a kind of
surrogate homecoming. I documented them in-situ and left them behind.
In their travelling case, safely stored, Keep Safe are the cocoons that returned.
Artist CV
Barbie lives and works in Albany, Western Australia where her
practice has also included curating, artist mentoring, teaching as a
sessional academic, writing art magazine reviews, conference
speaker and state government grant panellist.
Her art practice is an exploration and exposition of her ideas of
mortality and belonging.
“I work as a sculptor and installation artist, using the
physicality of matter in space as a language with which to
express the phenomena of my own - and by association,
humanity’s - subjective experience of the world. As
sculpture has a traditional preoccupation with space, my
passion in this field is the possibility of my work
incorporating three-dimensional physicality as part of its
content. Also, of vital importance are the ways the media of
my works embody their themes in their materials,
processes and forms. These methodologies are the
foundation of my practice.”

[Ainsley HILLARD]
Artist Statement
The work ‘enfold’ relates to the theme of the exhibition in
that it encapsulates the notion of repetition and reflection
both in the concept of movement depicted in the imagery and
the physical process of woven construction.
Artist CV
Ainsley Hillard is interested in bringing together the past and
the present and her art practice is generally site-specific,
being informed by specific places and the memories they
hold. Working with a variety of media using traditional and
digital techniques, she creates installations incorporating
woven structures, photography, audio-visual technologies
and most recently ceramics, embossed prints and digital
jacquard woven textiles.
Born in Carmarthenshire, Wales (1978), she is currently
based in Llandeilo. She trained at Middlesex University,
London and graduated with a First Class B.A. Honours
Degree in Constructed Textiles in 2000. The recipient of the
2001 James Pantyfedwen Scholarship in 2003 she gained a
Master of Arts in Visual Arts with Distinction at Curtin
University, Australia.
She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including
Japan, Austria, Lithuania, and Finland. Her work was
selected for the Valcellina Award, Italy with other awards
including first prize in the International Textiles Biennial
Scythia, Ukraine and the Shell Fremantle Print Award,
Australia.
Most recently her work was selected for the Lloyd Cotsen
Textile Traces Collection, USA and the Fibre Art Collection of
the City of Chieri, Italy.

My “RE”
I try to be receptive to pleasant/unpleasant or uncomfortable feelings in everyday life and create my works following direct and
responsive sense of touch.
My past works include objects and installations using rabbit fur, raw wool felt or shell button, fabrics with my occasional keyword
woven with gold threads, “Last/Link series” woven with 100-year-old indigo dyed thrum, and “Twist Bag” series under the theme
of continuity and rebirth of life which I started working on after the death of my mother.
What repeatedly appear in them are bags, animals, hands, eyes, and spirals. I am amazed to find that I deeply related to the
words which begin with “RE”; reality, realize, rebirth, reborn, receive, record, recycle, reduce, relation, release, remember
Our lives are now facing crisis. That is why I clearly recognize the significance of “RE”.

A square knot figure called “Musubikiri” is often used
in Japanese traditional ceremonies. The figure
signifies the eternal blessings. When people make a
“Musubikiri”, they wish a long-lasting happiness of
others. “Musubikiri” literally means in Japanese
“only once”, but in my interpretation, it is an “eternal
knot once tied”. This is the image I used for my work
this time.

The title “PAZRUKA” is a coined term and is the
generic term representing my creative works. An
assemblage of various colors and shapes provides
continuum like a puzzle.
Every continuum is
different and one after another a new combination of
continuum is created.
I feel a sense of awe and wonder towards nature. It
also puzzles me why I am living in this routinely
repeated time.
This is my eternal theme of expression and I would

Artist Statement
The interest in surface manipulation continues.
Stitch is the ongoing refrain. How the needle enters and leaves the cloth. How the
rhythm of repetition makes surfaces that undulate. How the pinning down of
layers causes height, depth and spaces in between.
Invariably the form that emerges is skewed towards the organic and drawn from the
surrounding environment - currently the remote desert tracts of northern Australia.
The outer skin is desiccated, folding in on itself, a wrinkled carapace. Renewal
crouches within the contracted containment.

We have many day-to-day encounters and farewells.
As if by chance or by miracle
And yet we spend our time without giving it a moment’s thought
The precious things so familiar that we fail to recognize
Now let me look at them in a fresh light.

For the past several years, I have been working on the theme of Optical Illusion. I employ a coiling technique, wrapping threads
around aluminium or stainless steel rods.
This is unlike my previous work on the loom. I work to create these optical effects by using numerous colors of thread and create
different images depending on the angle from which the work is perceived.

This journey is about the retracings, retrackings and
backtrackings, the circuitous routes taken to arrive at
an end point. It inevitably involves reminders of past
journeys, and repetition within the same journey. It
describes a meandering, a wandering, where any
possible end of the journey is of less importance than
the wandering itself.

[Ai MATSUMOTO]
Artist Statement
Textile consists of the front and the reverse side that are inextricably linked to each other. We, however, give little heed to the
reverse.
I would like to give shape to the uncertain and subtle feeling I have toward the surface layer of textile.
To create my work, I make a plaster cast of the surface of cloths and fabrics and pour silicone into the cast.
Textile transformed into a silicone material preserves the look of the surface of cloths and fabrics, but loses the warp and woof,
which are the actual components of textile. The textile made with time and care would then be transformed into something
empty.
However, while it loses the amount of time and work dedicated to composing the textile, it sheds light and clearly shows us the
new surface layer.

Artist Statement
Reconnected, refigured, repetitive and re-formed. Colourful, technique based ‘fabric’, created from felt, thread and
glue. The latter two act as invisible links, warps and wefts between the materials. Sheets of wool blend commercial felt
are attached together and cut into cubes of layered colour (the sides or layers). These units evoke happiness, bright
beads or sweet candy, which are repetitively threaded through the centres both horizontally and vertically. The created
‘fabric’ is pliable and manipulated to create an abstract shaped miniature sculpture, a hyper-coloured, patterned form
that is rhythmic in nature from creation, structure to aesthetic appeal.

Artist Statement
There is a saying in Japan “Sei-kou-u-doku”, which means “Working in the fields on fine days and reading at home on wet days”.
Do what you can only when you can and live a slower-paced life as you please. It is just a little time of happiness. For this work,
I used an old Japanese dictionary called “Genkai”, which literally means “a sea of languages”. A Dictionary is, in a sense, a sea
of languages. This work was inspired by the act of marking certain words or phrases with a bookmark while reading a book. A
trace of raindrops represents the bookmark, and fossils and mineral crystals embedded in the front cover represent the memory
of affairs from time immemorial.

Artist Statement
I create objects using fabrics made mainly of “kasuri” (splashed-pattern).
This work shows a tent-like living quarter of Native American with a teepee motif. Originally, teepees are made of hides, but
instead I used woven fabrics.
For warps, I used non-refined silk threads, and kasuri dyeing to make a star sign. I wove into wefts the paper threads made of
Japanese paper cut in 5mm wide. On this Japanese paper, the image of artificial plant population is inkjet printed by computer.
When I create a work, I often give thought to one’s life and its surrounding circumstances. This time, I would like to ask what kind
of role fabrics play mediating gently between nature and man.

In Osaka, the place where I live, there are neither sheep nor cotton fields; rather the town is full to the brim with all kinds of junk
which I have at my fingertips to use as a textile artist.
For me, these found objects, odds and ends like packages or labels, are appealing materials for my work in their symbolism of
modern society.
As I pray for everyone's health, I carefully connect a large amount of pharmaceutical pill packages that have been passed on to
me from various places.
In these moments, as I knit together the discarded casings of life-promoting drugs, I feel that there is nothing more precious than
handicrafts and living a peaceful life.

In recent years, I have been working on creating small box arts with certain images portrayed with machine embroidery. These
images come from daily events that touch my heartstrings, unforgettable sceneries, words, and five senses.
- About the exhibited work “Yellow Chaos” th
Countless numbers of flower petals clad in yellowish stupidity fill the air. This is the image in my mind after the 11 of March.
In order to resume the suspended thoughts and to find the will power for recovery, now I make stitches and create my work with
strings and fabrics to move my hands and mind.
ENERGY SHIFT! NO! NUKES! RECONSTRUCTION! It is the message the box carries. I hope you will hear the story of the box
and feel something that is deep down in your heart.

Artist Statement
The ritual of drinking tea has been an important part of the recovery of relationships within family. The used tea bag is all that
physically remains from moments in time, when thoughts were collected, the mind momentarily restored, memories recalled, stories
retold, decisions made and lives reviewed. Each bundle of small diaries, has been constructed with used tea bags and contains
remnants of documents and photographs from the past, together with written recollections of landscape, reflections on family and
residue from home. The process of reconstruction was an opportunity to reflect and restore thought fragments into a new form.

Artist Statement
I hand-stitch my work piece by piece, as I travel through the Australian bush. This becomes my ‘quiet time’ each day ... my bush
meditation.
I utilise maps and roads in my contemporary work as a metaphor for the ‘Journey of Colour’ around the Australian landscape.
Colour-mapping a journey from one point to another provides me with an exquisite basis for my work. With a background in
ceramics and my specialty being glaze technology, I am fascinated by the geological manifestation of the earth’s colours.
The combination of natural dyeing, geological make-up, the area’s history and the underpinning anthropological story behind this
rich visual tapestry provides me with never-ending fascination. In this work I utilise the concept of old fashioned travel post cards,
typical of those sent to relatives and friends to convey travel experiences. Through my work I hope that others will experience
the earth’s profound and proud essence.

Core Sample - Terra Australis suggests the mineral cores which are withdrawn by rock drilling during explorations for mineral
deposits.
Analysis then establishes the geological structure of the specific site where the drill penetrated the rock.
Core samples may contain layers of many subtle colours according to how the earth is laid down.
My piece uses plant dyed silks to suggest a core sample. The string is finger plied so it also represents a core sample of myself
as the maker.
The various dye colours were extracted from eucalypt trees, native to Australia, which cover much of the country from where core
samples are extracted and where I spend considerable time camping.

Artist Statement
The materiality of the form continues a visual, material link to the earlier work from the first exchange exhibition ‘Folding’ through the
re use of lead and a reconfiguring of the fold from a three dimensional box form to a two dimensional image a drawing in lead and
textile.
By reworking familiar processes into new forms with the intention of conveying a sense of optimistic memento mori, a reminder of the
fact that out of failure and mistakes (lead impervious to light, faux fur reminiscent of animal, organic) come the possibilities for growth
and learning.

Artist Statement
During my early twenties I lived in Tokyo for a year, teaching English. My Japanese flat mate, Yuko and I shared a tiny
apartment with a comparatively huge ceremonious shrine in memory of her dead parents. Persimmons played a
significant role in the Buddhist ritualistic offerings placed in front of the shrine. In Buddhist philosophy the persimmon is
said to symbolize transformation. The young persimmon tree produces acid and bitter fruit, but the fruit becomes sweet
as the tree matures. Thus the analogy is that man might be basically ignorant but with age that ignorance is transformed
into wisdom and compassion.

I have observed a satisfying symmetry between the shape of certain Neolithic “venus” figures and the seed bearing
cones of the ancient Australian genus of Banksia. In the course of revisiting a number of B. grandis trees to collect
cones I have become acquainted with their habits. They are quirky, tenacious and beautiful and they whisper to each
other at your approach.

Dimensions: 12cm (h) × 4 cm each
Materials: chinaware
Photographer: Mitsuo Toyazaki
[Mitsuo TOYAZAKI]
Artist Statement
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the origin of “textile” is “sign”. I also make a comparison between
“ornament” and “functionality”. Tracing the origin of things relates to the reason of my desire to create. I collect old or used
goods and attempt a new mode of expression with them.
I created this work based on an old “chocolate mold” I found in southern France. I used ceramics for the first time with this
work. The theme of this work is a doll with symbolic colors and patterns. Style, color and pattern are associated with
textile. 4 different colors of skin and garment on Kewpie dolls indicate the question of “individual”. The mold is used to
indicate the continued reproduction of copies. Lovely “Kewpie” figure reflects a sentiment of people who seek happiness. I
believe “sentiment” is also an important factor in style.

The silk gauze, twining around the net of haptic material, is
frail. It is the diary of passing days. Time is irrecoverable,
but memory can be replayed over and over. Memory is
fragile, a little painful, and also disturbing. Now I find the
everyday life to date and the everyday life in future ever so

[Katrina VIRGONA]
Artist Statement
Katrina Virgona works three dimensionally with a diverse range of materials including paint, wire, wood, fur, hair, felt,
various fibres and a wide array of fabrics. Sources of inspiration for her artwork include visible and associative instances
of language and writing systems, the elusive facets of communication and miscommunication and the psychology and
physicality of anthropological fetish figures.
The work for this exhibition draws on the idea of individual entities evolving by way of component inflections. Individual
fetish forms re-materialise similar measures of the same base substance in fresh permutations with each iteration.
Artist CV
Katrina Virgona was born in Cairns, North Queensland and moved to Fiji with her family when she was nine. Returning
to Australia at 13, her high school years were spent mostly in Ballina, New South Wales and she moved to Western
Australia in 1984.

Title:
rewound 2011
Dimensions: installation 30 cm x 30 cm
Materials: cotton sheeting, satin blanket edging, stitch
Photographer: Victor France
[Jane WHITELEY]
Artist Statement
‘rewound’ uses the transformative power of metaphor to revisit and address my childhood experience of bandages. This
tiny trousseau of baby gloves, torn sheets and blanket edging reflects on what we keep and what we pass on to future
generations.

Re: a prefix was conceived and developed by TEP the owner of copyright of this project, in collaboration with KICTAC the partner and developer of
the Japanese component of the project.
This exhibition has been developed as part of the 30 year celebrations of the WA-Hyogo sister state relationship
This project would not have been possible without the invaluable support of the Western Australian Government Offices in Kobe and Tokyo who
provided direct input into the development of the exhibition, facilitating liaison with Hyogo International Association (HIA) and Hyogo Prefectural
Museum of Art.
Hyogo International Association (HIA) have endorsed the project and provided funding support for the exhibition presentation at the Hyogo Prefectural
Museum of Art, 19-28 August 2011.
The Western Australian Museum has been working with the TEP curators on the development of this exhibition. Museum staff have worked closely
with the TEP | KICTAC curators to present this exhibition in the Hackett Hall exhibition space at the WA Museum - Perth,12 Nov, 2011 – 31 Jan, 2012.
