Abstract
Liang Shaoji was born in Shanghai in 1945. He was trained initially as a textile artist at the Zhejiang School of Fine Arts and in the early part of his career, during the 1980s, produced numerous innovative textile hangings and installations. In 1988 he began an open-ended series of installations and assemblages known as the Nature Series, involving the use of found objects and materials as sculptural supports upon which dense coverings of silk fibres have been deposited by live silkworms.
