Shiro Masuyama
Shiro Masuyama presents a project developed last year in Ireland in response to the traditional wool trade which is slowly dying out. In this project he worked with farms in rural Ireland to spin thread from sheep’s wool and knit a sweater which was then given to the same sheep to wear again.
