Hello,

Artist Statement

Lindzeanne is a self-taught textile and embroidery artist  living in Tokyo Japan who draws inspiration from traditional Japanese textile arts such as sashiko and indigo dyeing. Committed to the concept of "mottainai", she exclusively repurposes second-hand and vintage textiles, infusing new life into discarded materials.Her work transcends traditional definitions, focusing on mark-making and the interplay of color through the medium of time itself. Her process is one of intense, repetitive stitching, transforming fabrics into dense, abstract forms. She is driven to fill every surface, altering the material's inherent texture and weight. These intricate patterns are a visual language for intangible energies—feelings, thoughts, and memories—symbolically mapping the invisible connections of relationships and belonging. She invites viewers to experience a "small universe" within each piece, making the unseen tangible.
