Using paper that was invented in China and introduced into
Korea around the 3rd Century, Sookkyung Park utilizes this
material to explore the connections between people. Through
the repetitive process of folding and threading paper, the artist
expresses harmony and community through structure and
form. Paper has a rich cultural significance as she grew up in
Korea where the windows and walls were made of paper. In
her exhibit, she intends to define the flexible characteristics of
paper, its indispensability along with its strong natural power
of being made from wood.
EXHIBITION RUNS JUNE 7–JULY 31, WITH A PUBLIC RECEPTION ON FRI., JUNE 7.
