The artist Morino Mayumi studied at Waseda University, Tokyo, and currently teaches at Tama Art University. Throughout the 1960s and ’70s, Morino was involved with the avant-garde Mono-ha movement, which borrowed from Fluxus and Conceptual art, especially with its focus on found materials and objects, like the hat depicted here. His concentration on the subtle textures of the cloth presages his later experiments with “heatgraphs,” in which the artist burns designs onto felt, often in circular patterns. Morino’s interest in varied material surfaces is further evident in the background, which, though printed, is made to look like sheets of applied silver leaf.
