“Passing” – an art exhibit with Kyoung Ae Cho
On display November through December 2024 – This exhibit examines all the ways we experience the journey that is passing and how those memories are often kept in the materials of the clothes we wear.
Kyoung Ae explores ways to preserve the moments of our loved ones passing, the celebrations of birthdays, and the vibrancy of youth by weaving those fabrics into inspiring and thought provoking pieces of art.
