Beili Liu takes unwoven wool, silk organza, thread and reworks them into structures that easily look like they could have been found in nature. The end results are sculptural and breath-taking.One of her pieces, Bound #2, is composed of two standing red-oak columns that look as if they might have been cut in half. Red threads, attached by needles to the wooden columns, connect the two like a gossamer. The red threads create a tension between the two pieces of heavy wood that bring life back into the de-rooted, lumbered pieces. Here is what dberman gallery says about it:

Bound #2… is based on the Chinese legend of the red thread of destiny, which is the idea that when each person is born, they are connected by an invisible red thread to their destined soulmate.
