Untitled, 2006
Installation
Granite, soapstone, marble, and other stones collected over a long period of time
Dadeumi stones are traditional objects in Korean domestic culture, used as supports beneath freshly washed fabric while it was beaten with wooden paddles to smooth wrinkles and bring out its sheen. Across a long history, they have been deeply connected to Korean dress and everyday life. Through this installation, I sought to convey the wisdom of women’s domestic labor and lives of devotion to their families.
