The rectangular grid is a recurring basic form that runs through the body of work by Suki Seokyeong Kang. While the grid is a dominant compositional element and governing principle of Western modernist abstraction, here the artist references grid components found in Korean music, art, and architecture. Specifically, symbols from the Jeongganbo — an innovative musical score created in the 15th century along with Hangeul, the Korean writing system, by King Sejong of Joseon — form the basis of her Jeong series. The Jeongganbo marks the length and pitch of each note in each square section of the character jeong (井), which is shaped like a checkerboard. The artist views these square sections as frames that hold both sound and movement, as conceptual structures that propose a certain operational mode of time and narrative. The grid can also be found as a basic element of traditional Korean architecture, and recalls the aesthetic of chakyung — a concept that "borrows" (cha) the beautiful scenery (kyung) beyond a window in order to bring it into the interior of the building.
