Self Sufficient Life: A solo exhibition by Shiro Masuyama
This exhibition is the culmination of 3 international projects undertaken between 2012 and 2015 in Ireland, Peru and Mongolia documenting the artist’s search for self-sufficient models of living. He looks at the connections between farming animals for their wool/hair, the traditional place-specific techniques of producing fabric and clothing from these raw materials, and the cultures and societies in each of these different geographical contexts. The locations and landscapes in this series of works vary wildly, between rural Ireland to rural Peru and Mongolia which present more remote and self-sufficient environments. In each place the artist learns to shear an animal – sheep in Ireland, alpaca in Peru and camels in Mongolia – attempts to spin wool, knit and weave to produce an item of clothing or functional object.
