This sophisticated sculptural work uses ramie fibres to create a work on an expressive scale. Inspired by Chinese grass cloth weaving techniques, the egg-shaped hanging installation recalls an ancient Chinese myth that the breaking of Hundun was the origin of the world. Radial circles of fine knitting and weaving are layered to create the intricate inner structure and this delicate use of the material is contrasted with a course-dense exterior, which has been created by distressing the ramie fibre.
