Artist's statement: My work examines the nature of being human, and ways that people create personal realities based on constructs of family and culture. My recent focus is on making and working with hanji, Korean handmade paper. Through my study of hanji, I became interested in how craft forms have survived in the face of mass production and a culture of cheap and fast excess. Seeing this clash between past and present production values, I have adapted ancient techniques and materials to revive and update tradition, and encourage the survival and evolution of handwork, while adding layers of meaning to my practice.
