by Annalisa D'Amelio6 years ago Chiharu Shiota “Me somewhere else” View this post on Instagram Chiharu Shiota “Me somewhere else” The titular installation “Me somewhere else” continues Shiota’s exploration of thread as a medium but here she utilises the material in a markedly different way, using her fingers to knot red yarn into a vast net. Suspended from the gallery ceiling, the net is a billowing mass which rises from a pair of feet that rest on the floor below. Cast from the artist’s own feet, their solidity and permanence contrast with the usually ephemeral nature of her installation. The colour of blood, the red yarn is laden with symbolism, for the artist it alludes to our connectedness to each other, the interior of the body and complex network of neural connections in the brain. #privateview #sitespicificinstallation #art #contemporaryart 28 November – 19 January 2019 #amazing #dontmiss #galley @blainsouthern #london#annalisadamelio A post shared by Annalisa D'Amelio (@annalisa_d_amelio) on Nov 27, 2018 at 10:33am PST Share Tweet LinkedIn
