Chiaki Dosho and Isabelle Wiessler have deepened their friendship since performing together at Quilt National ’19. Though they live on different continents, their artistic dialogue has continued to grow through shared ideas and mutual inspiration.
Chiaki lives in Japan. After studying and teaching quilting, she pursued further studies in fine art at Musashino Art University to deepen her knowledge. She primarily works with antique Japanese kimono fabrics, reconnecting with her cultural roots while reinterpreting tradition through a contemporary lens. Isabelle is a French-German fibre artist based in Staufen, Germany, where she works full-time in her studio. With a background in fine art, she has developed a distinctive practice that bridges fibre art and contemporary painting, exploring color, materiality, and surface.
Konmasa is a young conceptual artist based in Japan. After studying photography in New York, he began transforming the everyday experience of wearing tank tops into conceptual art. For the past twelve years, he has expressed this ongoing exploration through video, questioning identity, repetition, and daily rituals.
Together, the three artists form a constellation of practices rooted in textile, image, and lived experience.
