incidentally…the mouths are saying “my name is jenny”

watch this Japanese video about Kumi Yamashita called “unbelievable” it is MUCH more interesting than the original video shown (when the original video is embedded and theres related videos below it).

I went to see her most recent show in NYC. She made a portrait out of pins and a single, continuous thread! Here's an image

She also had other portraits made from removing select treads from woven fabrics. REALLY detailed and extremely time consuming.

I posted a recent appearance on a Japanese TV show profiling her work-Video

Very nice!

As an answer for “art” (comment #11), the “!?” one is obviously a “?” seen from the side so you see a “!”. Note the lighter part on the “!” which is the concave part of the “?”.
