Bonington Gallery is proud to present this spectacular exhibition from Japanese textile artist Akihiko Izukura.

LIFE in COLOURS documents Izukura's practice; his philosophies of 'Compassion for Life - Zero Waste', generating minimal waste during the process of dyeing, spinning and weaving, and 'Sun and Water Circulation', using the natural power of the sun and water to save energy.

His innovative and sustainable approach to fabric production includes natural dyeing, weaving, netting, braiding and entwining to create striking textile objects and fashion garments which will be on display as part of this exciting exhibition.

Private view and introductory talk by Akihiko Izukura: Thursday 29 April 2010 5pm - 8pm

As part of this event, Akihiko Izukura will be talking about his work in Newton Building Lecture Theatre 2 5pm - 6pm followed by a private viewing of the exhibition in Bonington Gallery and Atrium from 6pm - 8pm.
