Ayumu Taniguchi

Born in Tokyo. Since around 2008, she has been creating organic objects reminiscent of plant and animal organs using wire—a type of craft wire wrapped in thin paper, typically used in floral arrangements and handicrafts. Each three-dimensional form is intricately woven using only her fingertips, protected by thimbles. The resulting mesh structures make both the inside and outside visually accessible: under strong light, they cast shadows like delicate line drawings; under softer light, they take on a hazy ambiguity, like smoke or mist. Her practice centers on the acts of weaving, stitching, and tying—as if extending her own skin—and gives form to structures that echo the composition of nature and the human body.
