Jiyoung Chung, The Life – My Cup Overlows (2021). One-of-a-kind joomchi 3-layered paper painting with paper yarn. Dimensions: 39” h x 23.25” w. ©2021 Jiyoung Chung. Courtesy of the artist.
Jiyoung Chung is a master of joomchi, the ancient Korean, environmentally sustainable art of handcrafting paper from water and the inner bark of pruned mulberry branches.
Her profound insight: “We have ‘horse whisperers’ and ‘dog whisperers,’ but we need ‘human whisperers’ to heal what has been broken in our relationship to ourselves, to nature and to God. The holes, layers and free mounting of my work represent these conversations, the whispers and the breath between them.” Learn more.
