The Japanese artist, Chiharu Shiota, was born in Osaka, lives in Berlin and exhibits her astonishing artworks around the world.
Shiota, often inspired by something that has happened to her, uses woollen thread to engulf, hide, reveal and explore objects and spaces, creating massive artworks of tangled yarn. These works are simultaneously fragile and strong, revealing emotions and evoking them in the viewer.
At the moment the artist has shows in Spain, Italy, the UK, China and Singapore. You can see why.
