Children of Flowers Series

During the Joseon Dynasty, embroidery artisans in the royal court’s workroom were called hwaajang (“children of flowers”). The title of the Children of Flowers series was made based on that tradition, and through this series the artist presents a variety of crafts for daily life by interpreting traditional embroidery inherited from royal embroidery in a modern way using contemporary designs and adjacent complementary colors. Flower patterns that frequently appear in traditional Korean crafts or paintings are not just for decorative effects but contain wishes for a happy life. These can be used as bookmarks and other purposes. (Fieldwork Press)
