Gestalta’s approach to shibari has evolved as the result of over a decade of practice on both sides of the ropes and a broad range of influences which she appropriates, mixes and develops in her own practice. She absorbed much of her rigging technique as a natural process of observation and experience from inside the ropes of the people she was tied by – with the years she spent modelling for Kazami Ranki (2011 – 2014) being amongst the most influential. This has shaped her teaching style into one that seeks to reflect the experience of both tying partners on a deep level.
