 |   |  |  |  |  |  |  | Born in Osaka in 1972, Chiharu Shiota often draws inspiration from a personal experience or emotion that she expands into universal human concerns such as life, death and relationships. She revisits the concepts of memory and consciousness by taking ordinary objects and engulfing them in immense thread structures. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
