Watching the women in my family sew inspired my passion for machine sewing. With limited resources, I learned to utilize recyclable materials early on. Now, after 50 years, I'm working to minimize resource consumption amidst the challenges of global warming. So, I appreciate discarded fabric scraps and packaging because of their unique colors and textures. Daily, I collect, cut, wash, and dry plastics, sorting them by color and texture in preparation for transforming them into artworks. Inspired by Korean Jogakbo tradition of resourceful fabric reuse, I have integrated its patterns and spirit into my art as a designer. As a Korean American, my artistic vision blends traditional Korean culture with other diverse cultural elements. Finding joy in transforming ordinary materials into meaningful art, I hope to inspire others to recognize the artistic potential of recycling and to reconsider their consumption habits while dreaming of sustainable art.
about my art
Every day, I see a lot of plastic package materials that are destined to get trashed. However, to my eyes, they look beautiful and unique in colors and textures, so I reuse them with other leftover fabrics and stuff that I have kept in my storage to transform into many meaningful artworks.
