EXPO ‘MISUN WON: Jogakbo and the Fractal geometry’ – 15 Mars-5 Mai 2012
Jogakbo and the Fractal geometry BY MISUN WON
In the first Misun Won’s solo exhibition ‘Jogakbo and the Fractal geometry’, she wants to associate the beauty of playful rhythmical structure with her jewelleries. The latest collections reflect her inspiration from the geometrical composition of Korean patchworks ‘Jogakbo’. As the composition of Jogakbo is based on nature, she employed the fractal geometry in order to analyse the complex compositions of Jogakbo. Her in-depth study in the Fractal geometry and Jogakbo helped her to create dynamic structures for her latest collection. Her meditative making process is an act of pray for the wearers as the act of imbuing auspicious qualities with her jewelleries parallels the wish of ancient Korean housewives, who made Jogakbo for their family members.
After graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 2008 with a master degree, she worked at the College as an artist in residence and a visiting lecturer. She won a gold award for Fashion Production Jewellery in Goldsmiths’ Craftsmanship & Design Award in 2008. She has been exhibiting her jewellery in UK, Europe, and USA. Now she is working in her cozy studio at Coburg House Art Studios & Gallery in Leith, Edinburgh.
