Mories on the Line
Recycled materials 8 x 4 x 9 ft.
Memories on the Line is a reflection on the women who shaped me through their care. In the everyday act of doing laundry, I began to see not just labor, but sorrow, strength, and the quiet hope of renewal carried by women. The apron holds the stories of my mother,grandmother, and the women who nurtured and supported me. Their hands did more than tend the home—they comforted, protected, and sustained life. As I lay each memory on the line, it becomes more than just a memory—it becomes meaning.
One Woman’s Story — My Story from the Women Exhibition
​
This work began with a quiet question: “Who am I as a woman?” To me, womanhood is not defined by the body alone, but shaped through care, labor, and the quietly inherited roles passed down through generations. Sewing connects me to the women in my family, bringing back memories of how their hands and hearts sustained the home. In Save Big, Memories on the Line, and She Who Connects, I follow the gestures of stitching, washing, and tying—everyday acts that reflect the often-unseen work of women. These pieces reflect the wisdom, strength, and quiet persistence that have been passed down to me. As a Korean American woman, I begin this journey with the hope of continuing what I carry within.
