This hand woven tapestry work “Resettled Body” is a response to my own personal experiences and my family’s experiences of migration and adjusting to new environments. This work is filled with forms and shapes representing body parts and plants to presenting life and fertility.
This hand-woven work intertwines botanical forms I have discovered in Australia and symbolic flowers used in Korean art with stylised female a body parts to express my experiences of adjusting to life in Australia as an extension of my Korean family’s three generations of experiences living in Japan.
