Lot Essay

'I don’t feel so much drawn to the material itself, that is, the physical condition, but more to the possibilities it gives me. I first studied painting but soon felt limited by the two dimensionality of the canvas. I started to experiment with how to work in the third dimension and found a way to use thread in order to draw lines in this dimension. That’s also one of the reasons why I often use black thread – it’s like drawing with a pencil' – Chiharu Shiota
