For me, I did a lot of times and sometimes I even put cling wrap over it to mimic the lenses. It didn’t work as binoculars of course, (the cling wrap made the view even worse) but I remembered that when I looked through the paper binoculars everything looked different...In this body of work, I looked through my paper binocular filters to draw and make into rugs and paper sculptures. I hope to never lose these binoculars.”* Working across various mediums, including textile design, rug tufting, paper craft and painting, Yoko transforms childhood memories and inspiration from nature into bold and vivid-coloured creations. Hope you can join us! Opening Friday 4 September, 6-9pm Exhibition continues until 19 Sept 2026 [Full details here](https://www.jackywinter.gallery/exhibition/paper-binoculars?ref=news.jackywinter.com) --- [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/37/bf/37bf26d9-637a-4dcd-b5da-b1345bb32628/content/images/2026/11/47951546-thumb_link_roll_image_jQ-BWX5K_JzYFmE_6JyiNw_1788246721.png)](https://www.instagram.com/p/DcSQXciTyYK/?ref=news.jackywinter.com) [instagram.com/p/DcSQXciTyYK](https://www.instagram.com/p/DcSQXciTyYK/?ref=news.jackywinter.com) ## My First Commission: Jeremy Wortsman We’re looking back almost 20 years and diving into some rare JW lore!
