Last night at dinner, The Gymnast was telling us about an artist who they’d been looking at in Art. His name is Do Ho Suh, and he’s a Korean artist, living in the US.<\/p>\n

The story, as she told it, was that he was feeling homesick away from his home in Korea, so decided to reproduce that home. But instead of using “normal” building methods, he instead taught himself to sew, and made his house from silk-like fabric.<\/p>\n

He has since created quite a few installations with sewn creations.<\/p>\n

I know this post would be so much more interesting if I put the pictures right here. However, my understanding is that under “fair use” provisions of the Copyright Act (Australia), “fair use” is not defined. Therefore what I think is fair use, might not be deemed fair use by someone else. It is therefore safer to simply direct you to the external website – where you can see more of Do Ho Suh’s work anyway – than potentially breach someone else’s copyright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
