Description and Table of Contents
Description
Do Ho Suh's hugely popular installations have been drawing audiences around the world for more than two decades. Their themes of displacement, transience, and longing reflect the artist's own nomadic existence as a Korean emigre. Now this unique volume, which contains numerous previously unpublished drawings and sketches, reveals not only the genesis of Suh's sculptural and installation pieces but also his efforts to translate his artistic motivations to paper using a variety of traditional and non-traditional media. Grouped thematically around ideas of self-exploration, relationships, home, states of transition and Karma, the book features works in pencil, airbrush, watercolour, rubbings, architectural renderings and "thread drawings," which are sewn and embedded into handmade pulp. In addition, sketches from the artist's private notebooks show the inception points for the germination of his ideas. This book also includes three essays focusing on Suh's personal journeys, his architectural drawings and paper sculpture.
