Shin works with several different techniques and mediums such as Japanese woodblock printing, papier-mâché, embroidery, tapestry weaving, book making, Urauchi (chine-colle) and college. She aims to create artwork that displays a sensitivity for tactile materials, historical techniques, and a physical awareness that expresses femininity, sexuality and domesticity.
