Ai Kijima has developed a method of treating various fabrics and worked creative fabric collage as combining quilting technique and traditional method in Japan. Her works reveal her mind that sustains fellowship with traditions in Japan, as well as embraces American culture. Ai Kajima is interested in icons in pop culture, which are popular but can be easily forgotten by people. Thus, she uses second-hand cottons intentionally. The artist changes context of character and materials in her unique way, and mixes ideas from West and East tactfully. Her works is a result of mixed culture and her advanced sewing shows her patience and earnest effort.
