Chinami Mori is an artist that works with string, fabric, and yarn to create work that reflects a freestyle Japanese weaving technique, also known as *saori*. Think of it as weaving without rules: Anything goes, and that includes any colors, textures, and knots the artist feels compelled to use in one single piece. Mori’s work is playful and unique, but perhaps more special is her choice of subject to model her work: Her 93-year-old grandmother. Mori’s grandmother Emiko spends time at her studio every day, watching her granddaughter create these cozy works of art. It wasn’t long before Mori realized that her grandmother would make the perfect model for her work, and looking at the images below, it’s not difficult to see why.
