CreatorSteven Junil ParkNameJogak lightshadesDate Made2025Medium DescriptionHand-loomed ramie, cotton thread, recycled shade frames and woven hemp cordsObject NumberLU331Further information'These lightshades reference the traditional Korean practice of 'Jogakbo', where scraps of textile are hand sewn together to make larger 'bo' (domestic wrapping cloths). This began during the Chosen dynasty when textiles were extremely precious, allowing people to save even the smallest pieces and make them into something beautiful.

'Jogak' (조각) means small piece, which I feel is a suitable name for these lightshades. I tried not to change the shapes of the scraps and fit them together like puzzle pieces, allowing the overall shapes to evolve organically.' - Steven Junil Park Artwork CopyrightAll rights reservedArt CollectionLincoln University Art CollectionKeywordsPlants | Te Wao nui a Tāne
