  • Montpelier Arts Center 9652 Muirkirk Road Laurel, MD, 20708 United States (map)

EXHIBITION RUNS JUNE 7–JULY 31, WITH A PUBLIC RECEPTION ON FRI., JUNE 7. 

Using paper that was invented in China and introduced into Korea around the 3rd Century, Sookkyung Park utilizes this material to explore the connections between people. Through the repetitive process of folding and threading paper, the artist expresses harmony and community through structure and form. Paper has a rich cultural significance as she grew up in Korea where the windows and walls were made of paper. In her exhibit, she intends to define the flexible characteristics of paper, its indispensability along with its strong natural power of being made from wood.
