Publisher's Synopsis
As only one of a handful of internationally recognized female artists in China, Lin Tiamiao is known for her use of thread and embroidery as both mediums and subject matter in her sculptures, photographs, videos, and installations - an un-conventional approach unique to this artist in the Chinese art world. This book surveys the past 20 years of the artist's work and includes an interview with the artist as well as essays by leading scholars on Chinese contemporary art.
