Most of my works are inspired by the organic forms living organisms have selected to pass their lives down to the next generations. In order to actualize the inspired image, I chose to repeatedly weave, twist and tangle a single line to transform it into the stereoscopic substance. The process of repeating the same action gives me the time to meditate. That is why I like this technique. Eriko Unno
