The 82-year-old Japanese-born artist had to spend her childhood during World War II. She was a print textile designer in New York City for a while. She currently resides in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, Canada, and is the co-founder of Interplay Design and Manufacturing. She approached fibre art in the early 1970s. She is a craftsman and talented artist known for her fibre art productions. She plays a role in the intersection of textile and fine art. With fibre art, an elongated thread is transformed into 2D fabrics and clothing or combined with depth into an art product such as a 3D sculpture and pavilion. Ms. Horiuchi MacAdam is also most interested in 3D. Although she does not see herself as an architect, she creates spaces with her handiwork.
