林天苗 Lin Tianmiao
Lin Tianmiao is one of the first Chinese female artists to achieve international recognition. She is known for her practice of thread winding in which she binds the material – usually silk, hair, cotton, or felt – tightly around found and manufactured objects. Initially tasked by her mother to spool cotton as a young girl, Lin later reclaimed the act. Lin’s work studies her own social role and the relationship between identity and social context, questioning the identity of woman and the conventional idea of the social role of woman as mother. Best known for her large-scale installations, which were collected by many museums and galleries. Lin also works in sculpture, photography, video, and a variety of other media.
