Hanjisa Objects

Fiber artist Ko Bokyung is highly interested in the traditional cultural business and the invigoration of traditional crafts. The medium she chose was hanji, which is Korean paper made of fibers from mulberry bark, in her traditional methods. It is durable and elastic— enough to last 1,000 years. Made from fiber called hanjisa (Korean paper yarn), this work is a collection of objects visualizing the forms of containers. It is also notable that the lacquer finish adds solidity and practicality.
