ARTIST STATEMENT

I draw, collage, cut, sew, weave, and print with or on handmade paper. My work is informed by my interest in religion and spirituality as well as my background in traditional Korean book and paper arts. I seek to integrate spirituality and materiality, traditional and contemporary techniques, East and West, into a piece that can be read, prayed, or held in the hand.
