About 2012 Hanji Project New York
The transmutation of Hanji paper from mulberry pulp to the manifestation of creativity
Hanji is a Korean process that combines the bark of the Mulberry Tree (Dak in Korean) and the mucilage of the Hibiscus to create a unique paper that is transformed by the works of scribes, artists, designers and crafts people. There are various forms of Hanji including beautiful papers that are cherished by artists and calligraphers, others that are suited to sculpture and furniture design and a silken cloth woven from paper fibers that may be used for apparel. "Hanji Metamorphoses" is a proposal to invited artists and designers to explore the creative potential of this wondrous material. These include artists who work with traditional medium, digital artists, industrial designers, architects, performance artists, musicians and fashion designers. "Hanji Metamorphoses" will manifest in exhibitions and events at venues in New York City from June 28th through July 5th, 2012.
