As only one of a handful of internationally recognized female artists in China, Lin Tianmiao is known for her use of thread and embroidery as both mediums and subject matter in her sculptures, photographs, videos, and installations—an unconventional approach unique to this artist in the Chinese art world. Bound Unbound: Lin Tianmiao surveys for the first time the past twenty years of the artist’s work and includes an interview with the artist as well as essays by leading scholars on Chinese contemporary art.
