About the Event
Eun-Kyung Suh will show sculptural vessel forms which she has been creating for over 10 years. She will share her inspiration source, Bojagi, a Korean traditional craft, and the process of transforming two-dimensional fabrics into three-dimensional enclosed forms. Basic techniques such as sewing, wrapping and folding processes using the inherent structure of fabric will be discussed.
Korean-born, Duluth-based textile installation artist Eun-Kyung Suh, received an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in Iowa City. Since 2008 she has been focusing on a series of sculptural vessels as a metaphor for personal, family and cultural memories. These sculptural vessels are created out of diaphanous textiles, using a design originally inspired by Bojagi, one of the traditional Korean art forms. Â
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Conrad Wilde Gallery, Tucson, AZ, Nord Gallery, San Antonio, TX, Galerie sei-un-do, Zurich, Switzerland, Montreal Center for Contemporary Textiles, Montreal, Canada, and Barabas Villa Gallery, Budapest, Hungary. Her textile work was published in Textiles: The Art of Mankind by Mary Schoeser Thames & Hudson, December 2012. Eun-Kyung Suh received the 2020 McKnight Fellowships for Fiber Artists and she is currently a Professor in the Department of Art and Design at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.
