Columbus-based artist Andrea Myers has just travelled to Tokyo to embark on a three month artist residency in collaboration with @marikokobayashi_textile. This was a great honor for her to be chosen to represent the US as part of the US Japan Creative Arts Fellowship Program, and to create work for the US Pavilion at the 2025 Osaka World Expo @worldexpo.2025.
Alongside Kobayashi, Myers plans on creating works that fuse her repetition of patterned strips of colorful fabric with her organic, nature inspired threaded shapes, to create immersive, patchwork installations that are evocative of the movement and spirit of nature. The two will be focused on studying the endangered bird populations native to the expo area while researching international migration patterns- connecting how the same birds travel between the US and Japan.

Through glassmaking, textiles, and installation, she blurs the distinctions created between feminine and masculine ideals.
