about the artist

I am a textile artist whose primary focus is on the traditional Korean art form known as Bojagi. Sustainability and mindfulness are at the core of my practice. I achieve this by using remnants of fabric and repurposed materials that I hand-stitch into various forms, from 2D light panels to 3D mandu mobiles.

I believe there is a fine balance between tradition and innovation. When done thoughtfully, artists are able to keep traditions alive by making them their own and sharing stories that resonate with others. With deep respect to the traditional methods of Bojagi, I believe that reimagining some aspects can shed a light on this historic art practice and introduce new audiences to Korean culture. 

I am forever learning and experimenting within my practice. I strongly value curiosity and play and I believe that there's always room to grow. I enjoy finding inspiration in unlikely places and often find myself making pieces that resemble a specific memory I want to recreate into a tangible representation. I am fascinated by the idea of crafting not only a piece of art, but rather a complete experience that immerses my audience in the present moment. This involves pushing the boundaries of what fabric can do by incorporating movement, sound, and light/shadow contrasts.
