Suspicious Growths: 

Works by Tai Hwa Goh

On View: Feb. 3 - 24

The Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. proudly presents Suspicious Growths, a new exhibition of vibrant, organically-inspired installation works by Tai Hwa Goh, the center’s 2017 Artist of the Year.  

Tai Hwa Goh's works start from an interpretation of personal experiences, a desire to capture the fine details and rhythm that make up one's accumulated memories, and the natural flow of energy. Goh's pieces use traditional printing methods on thin Korean Hanji paper, which is piled, folded, and bound by hand to create forms that evoke elements of nature such as stems, cells, and seeds, and organs of the human body. Together these become a living organism that appears to proliferate and divide as viewers experience a totally transformed art space, before being reborn into an installation with architectural elements. This reflects Goh's process of finding her identity through an acute realization and transformation of one's total life, memories, and ego. Read Goh's full profile on the KCC website here.
