Botanical Stories​

Maki Teshima's solo art show at Understudy, Denver CO

​

Press Release Statement:

Experience Botanical Stories, a textile art exhibition by Maki Teshima that fosters a deep connection with nature. Maki’s work features silk organza pieces dyed entirely with organic materials collected from local restaurants, flower shops, and her personal gardens, each color holding a unique story and personal connection. Transparent fabric layers reveal new visuals as viewers move through the space, creating an ever-evolving display.

The exhibit also showcases Musubi//Connections, a project from 2023, which features "Kanou Musubi" (wishing knots) made from naturally dyed, repurposed t-shirts. Visitors are encouraged to add their own wishes, tying knots to symbolize unity with nature, culture, and community.
