The Spread of Twining, by Lin Tianmiao [Photo/Artron.net] |
The Spread of Twining is the first work by Lin as an artist. She inserted 20,000 needles into a mattress and paper pants, and twined bundles of cotton threads into thousands of little string balls in the size of ping-pong, while each needle is threaded with a string, linking to a string ball.
In the work Sewing, she twined and wrapped daily tools used by women such as sewing machine, mirror, cooking range, and cradle with white cotton threads.
