6x4 is the body of work of an individual who chooses to remain anonymous behind the label. It is the expression of the aesthetic universe this individual wants to create and inhabit. Manifest into physical reality from the realm of ideas and intention through the making of simple functional objects, the philosophy of this universe is written in the visual and material attributes of the objects. For the creator this philosophy can be likened to the uncovering of an ancient buried city, exposed to them by each act of creation.
Our humanness is reflected in our objects and garments; to make tools and objects is an act that defines our species. The way we live with each other and with the earth is reflected in these artefacts of our survival, society and culture. These objects represent a way of living.

When I was younger I didn’t really understand the meaning of such cultural celebrations, I just thought of them as pleasant relics of my Korean heritage that I didn’t quite understand. But as I grow older I am realising how deeply significant these traditions are, allowing us to engage in the ritualised creation of meaning. Even though the cultural context changed when my family immigrated across the pacific ocean, the spirit of these celebrations remain the same. This is so important when capitalism and ongoing colonial power structures seek to alienate us from ourselves, our communities, and the natural environment. So often the s...

Silkworm spinning their golden cocoons
Просмотров 1421 день назад
I was given a few worms to rear by Gina Russell of Growing Textiles NZ. I loved having these little creatures quietly munching away on fragrant mulberry leaves in my studio. By the time the silk hardened the pupae had shrunk and stiffened, rattling around inside the cocoon. At this point I put them in the freezer. Once all the worms have pupated they will be processed, killing the worms but rel...

Planting hopes like seeds for the coming year I want to find ways of aligning my life to the cycles of nature: to the seasons that change, reminding us of the passing of time and the eternal dance of life and death. This is not an original idea, until very recently it was the unquestionable force that ruled our lives but in our post-industrial world we live according to the beat of the calendar...
요일 (yo-il) hand carved limestone candleholders for the Objectspace 'Weekly Objects' fundraiser.
Просмотров 675 месяцев назад
WEEKLY OBJECTS I've made a limited edition series of candleholders called '요일 (yo-il)' for the yearly fundraiser for Objectspace, an institution that has been hugely supportive to me and many other makers since 2004. In my second year at Art school I swore off making art and decided to only focus on making functional objects. I wanted to understand my identity, what it means to be human, and wh...

At the end of the Summer I went to help harvest some of their organic indigo. I took home some leaves to use for dye and a few months later I went back for a bundle o...

Coil basket vase made from Crocosmia (Coppertip) leaves harvested from the front of the house where I live. I dry the seed heads to use in dried arrangements but I wanted to find a use for the leaves. I used jute twine to make them into a coil basket vase. After it was completd I torched it to removed the jute fluff and loose leaves. I wanted it to have a dark finish so I coloured it with tung ...

Beautiful
Thank you :)
I found your channel yesterday and I'm fascinated
Thank you for saying so! I hope you enjoy these documentations of my work :)
can i use old shirts to cut up in squares for this technique?
Yes, I don't see why not! It works best with natural fibres with a fairly stiff weave :)
Quelle infinie patience pour travail méticuleux...
Merci beaucoup!
Интересная техника. Я с такой еще не знакома! 👍
Please do some for me in EU 45 with a little bit more open toes.❤
Здорово. Чем вы обработали вазу? ❤
Beeswax and tung oil :)
Brava!Saluti from Florence- Italy.
Thank you from Aotearoa, New Zealand!
Bojagi?
Yes! Bojagi is the name of a general domestic wrapping cloth. Jogakbo is a type of bojagi made from scraps :)
It’s been over 3 years this video being uploaded but still I thank you for uploading my country’s traditional art…!
보아 주셔서 감사합니다
Спасибо Вам.
I love everything about this and the music just takes it to a whole other level. Beautiful!
Thank you for saying so!
your work is amazing and inspiring. thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching! :)
Excellent craftsmanship
Thank you :)
Cool (por needl)
Beautiful work. That has to be sandstone though, correct?
It's limestone salvaged from an old building that was demolished after the Christchurch earthquakes :) Very soft and easy to work.
❣❣❣❣
:)
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I love that this is finished on both sides. Thank you for introducing me to a new technique with historical meaning!❤
You are so welcome! Hope you're able to give it a try :)
По-настоящему мужской способ изготовления одежды! С удовольствием посмотрела :)
Thank you :)
What type of fabric are you using, is it a linen / cotton?
It's Ramie, a plant fibre from the nettle family. It's naturally very stiff as shown :)
Nice sand stone psy-op bowl
Даже просто смотреть на это... Кайф!
Well, it makes your handstitches to look like flat felled sewing seams. Wow.
Thank you!
Магия!

Do you hav a template for the clogs
No, sorry! I just sort of made it up and didn't hold onto the patterns. They were pretty easy to make, just traced around my feet and added some height.
Absolutely stunning!!!
Thank you so much!!
👌💕
:)
Beautiful. 👌💕
Thank you :)
So just the glue holds the sole together? Beautiful work. Thank you. 👌💕
Thanks for your comment! Yes it's just wood glue that holds the soles together. It's very strong if used correctly, I've never had a glue join fail! As for the rubber outsoles, they are just attached with glue so they can be replaced when needed.
너무 멋있네요, 배우고 싶어요!
감사합니다! Sewing is a wonderful skill, I encourage you to try and learn! I didn't study sewing but I learnt from books, the internet, and lots of practice :)
Bellissimi.
Grazie! :)
hi, i want to buy this one can you show me where to buy it
Hello! I bought this in a second hand shop. You might be able to find one on ebay or another second hand sale platform.
Beautiful! So subtle and earthy!
Beautiful bowl. Does the limestone sound like a bell when you strike it?
New Zealand limestone is quite soft so it doesn't make much of a sound unfortunately, more of a stony thud!
I find it interesting how people connect to places in different ways. She has her interpretative dance, I scuba dive and explore the reef in the background.
hi can u post a longer and detailed video
Hello! I will try and make a more detailed video when I have some time. I just wanted to post this to show a bit of my process rather than demonstrate how to do it. There are lots of far more experienced darners on youtube that will have great videos until then!
Love the hat and dress, make another showing the progress
well done, very beautiful.
Thank you very much!
What’s the music? It’s beautiful (and a nice change from usual sewing tutorials ringtone style music)
Thank you! I made the music myself :)
What is the stone called!?
It's a folder that I made from deer antler. They are supposed to be longer and made from bone (Hera folder) but I only had antler available! They are used a lot in quilting.
I absolutely love this!
Thank you!
Bellissimi!Bravo!
Grazie!
