Mixed media with Korean hanji paper on canvas
Promised gift of the Foundation Ink
Created nearly four decades into the development of Park’s Seo-Bo’s Ecriture series, this piece acts as a record of the artist’s repeated action, creating shallow furrows in wet hanji paper, an act of meditative self-emptying. In the center of the work Park embeds a “breathing hole,” a break from his signature furrows that allows the eye and the spirit a place of rest and emptiness.
