Jin-Sook So
"Folded Form I" Abstract-Geometric Contemporary Korean Wall Sculpture

2004

About the Item

"Folded Form I", steel mesh, painted, electroplaited, gold and silver leaf, 12 1/4" x 12 1/4" x 12 1/4", 2004. This abstract geometric wall sculpture was done by fiber artist, Jin-Sook So (b. 1950, Korea). So grew up in Seoul, Korea where she received a master's degree in textile art, after which she continued her studies in Japan. She went to Sweden in 1978 to be a special student in the Department of Textiles at Konstfack, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm and has lived there since. So’s work is informed by her time spent in Korea, Sweden and Japan. She uses transparent steel mesh cloth, which she burns, paints, electroplates in gold or silver, sews and shapes to create sculptural and wall pieces. The past and present are referenced in So’s work in ways that are strikingly modern and original. She has used old Korean schoolbook pages to create collage and steel mesh to create contemporary pojagi and to re-envision common objects — chairs, boxes and bowls.

  • The Foundation
    By Gene Kiegel
    Located in Jersey City, NJ
    This arwork is a part of Vistiges art series. “Vestiges'' acts as a relic that evokes a nostalgic reminder of a life that once was. The series is deeply associative, attuned to our own sense of place and personal history through an aesthetic of transience, intimacy, and sentiment. The physical properties of “Vestiges” invite a closer look. Kiegel replaces the traditional canvas with a lightweight aerospace structural material that mimics the architecture of a honeycomb. A lateral view of its deep rigid hexagonal structure makes it appear as an abandoned, rusted piece of metal—only allowing its full depth to be seen from a direct view, like a synthetic silk veil...

    By Linda King Ferguson

    In this sculptural piece, Linda King Ferguson has cut a piece of linen canvas into a half-diamond shape, with an ellipsis cut-out close to the scalloped right edge.
