Suki Seokyeong Kang (1977–2025)
110 x 80 x 6 cm
At the core of this body of work is baejeop, the traditional Korean process of layering and mounting together wetted silk and hanji (mulberry paper). Built through the repeated adhesion and drying of delicate materials, each work unfolds slowly, embedding time into its very structure. Kang understood each layer as a temporal unit: subtle shifts in tone and texture that mirror the passing of seasons. Across her practice, temporality is a central concern. Kang observed time as cyclical, accumulative, and lived. Created in the final period of her life, the Jeong works carry this awareness with particular intensity. The act of layering becomes a meditation on time, where each surface carefully preserves a passing moment or season.
