Pojagi wrapping cloths are a traditional Korean folk craft. Created with geometric patterns and intricate designs, sometimes featuring village maps, they possess an organic beauty reflective of maternal wisdom and familial labor and love. Pojagi are often created from scraps left over from Chima Jeogori dress-making. This exhibition presents historic pojagi from the collection of the Japanese Traditional Dyeing and Weaving Promotion Foundation, along with photographs of artist Haji Oh’s grandmother, mother, and aunt in Chima Jeorgori. These images question personal relationships to objects from the perspectives of the body, mind, identity, and memory. Yui Usui’s concurrent exhibition “Shadow Work” examines the remnants of labor not remunerated with money that has been socially and economically marginalized.
