Tomorrow Is Always New

Meet @tomorrow_is_always_new, upcoming Artist in Residence for The Residency at FLORA! Maki Teshima is a botanical dye textile artist from Japan, now based in Denver, Colorado. She explores the beauty of natural colors through her art works and workshops, inspiring communities to connect with nature. She has shared her expertise through lectures and workshops in diverse settings from offices, flower shops, compost sites, schools, and nonprofit organizations to established museums, spreading the world of natural colors. With a background in textile surface design in Osaka and New York City, Maki has worked on everything from socks and baby onesies to men’s and women’s clothing. Throughout her career, she has been fascinated by how colors, patterns, and designs in textiles can quickly transform human emotions. Notable projects include public art installation, Musubi // Connections (2023), supported by The INSITE Fund at Redline Contemporary Art Center; collaborations with the interdisciplinary dance company Holdtight (2024); and her solo exhibition Botanical Stories at Understudy (2024). The Residency at FLORA offers selected creatives a place to live, create, and share their process with the FLORA and Denver community.

One of my many happiest moments was sticking my hand into Sukumo (composted indigo leaves) pile & feeling the very much “ALIVE” natural beauty 🍃
