Surface Design Review - New York Fiber in the 21st Century by David Pierce

The bright fabric work by Ai Kijima, simply titled Hello, masterfully combines pop art references, Native American figures, text, and cartoon icons. As in Porcella's work, the cheerfulness of Kijima's subjects seems to lie above an unspoken menacing force. Stitched together with masterly command of the medium, this work provided an eye-catching painterly field at the back of the gallery.
