Corinne Okada Takara is the artist-in-residence at San Francisco's De Young Museum this month, and will be showing a series of tapestry images exploring her Japanese-Hawaii plantation roots during her residency.

Her artist-in-residence reception will take place 3 to 5 p.m. in the museum's Kimball Gallery on Saturday. An exhibition, “;Rhythms in Space,”; will continue through Jan. 4.

Among her works to be shown are “;Fortune Tapestry,”; “;Gingko Tapestry”; and hats that emerge from the two tapestries. She will be creating seven new tapestries during her residency, with 16 new hats and hair ornaments to emerge from them.

Her works draw from the plantation mentality that all materials are precious and can have many uses. So rather than using traditional fabric and threads, her tapestries utilize Asian food wrappers, wire, produce netting, recycled denim, wire and miniature soy sauce bottles, and Japanese rice bags.

Her work has also recently been selected by the Art in Embassies program, run by the State Department, to be part of a two-year show at the U.S. NATO Mission in Brussels, Belgium, with the theme “;Plurality.”;
