Shallow Grave derives from a performance by the artist in which handmade mulberry paper was molded to a body in a bathtub. The weaving abstractly captures the aerial view of this figure, its delicate thread work akin to the manipulated paper in its fragility. The airiness of the intricate hanging tapestry simultaneously reveals and belies the substantial time invested in the creation of the handwoven piece, imbued with the intimacy that comes with duration.
