the subconscious mind is a garden, full of memories of all the little things that make you who you are.everything we are lives in this garden.but it takes tending to...sometimes a distraction invades your garden.

The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
This kimono features an all-over kiredori (overlapping scraps) pattern rendered in a sophisticated palette of deep purples, rich burgundy, navy blue, golden yellow, and taupe, creating a dynamic mosaic effect that suggests both broken pottery and stained glass windows. 1926-1940, Japan
The silkscreened faux-shibori technique demonstrates the innovative adaptation of traditional resist-dyeing methods through mechanical reproduction, allowing for precise geometric forms that would be impossible to achieve through conventional hand-tied shibori processes.

The artistic approach strongly evokes the geometric abstraction and color field experiments of European modernist movements, particularly echoing the fragmented forms of Cubism and the bold color relationships explored in Fauvism and German Expressionism. This cross-cultural dialogue was characteristic of the Taishō and early Shōwa periods, when Japanese artists and designers were actively synthesizing Western modernist principles with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The kiredori motif itself carries symbolic resonance, suggesting the beauty found in fragments and the creative potential of reconstruction—themes particularly relevant during a period of rapid social and cultural transformation. The overall effect creates a sense of movement and energy that transforms the kimono into a wearable work of abstract art.

Let's talk about a spooky mystery! The V&A museum has this gorgeous 17th century Colombian cabinet, decorated with Barniz de Pasto, using Mopa Mopa. In 2015, the museum X-rayed the cabinet, revealing that there was a secret underneath the inside of the lid, a skeleton that was covered by paint! 💀🔽
Cabinet. South American cedar (Meliaceae Cedrela ordorata) with barniz de Pasto decoration, with iron mounts. Vice-royalty of Peru (Colombia). Made around (1640-1660)
Victoria and Albert MuseumPhoto of the opened cabinet, pre-restoration. You can see the painted decoration of the inner lid.
Victoria and Albert MuseumInner lid of the cabinet, pre restoration. Unlike the rest of the cabinet, which was decorated with a technique known as Barniz de Pasto, done with a rare plant resin called mopa mopa, this surface was decorated with paint, hiding something underneath.

The Eiffel Tower as seen by Robert Delaunay 🎨 The “Iron Lady,” built in 1889, fascinated Delaunay, who painted it in a major Cubist series in the early 1910s. He glorified the Eiffel Tower using vibrant colors, enhanced by a bird’s-eye view that lends it a sense of grandeur. 👀 bit.ly/CP_Delaunay
