Myeongwol : bright moon talisman
| Description: |
Limited edition this being number 2 of 4Signed by authorThis book references Hwang Jin-I (1520c.-1560c.), a famous gisaeng during the Joseon Dynasty, who was known for her poetry. Her gisaeng name was Myeongwol, which is written in Korean Characters on the cover of the book. It translates to bright moon, which is the first English text in the book. I developed a book cover made entirely of hanji, or Korean handmade paper, in the tradition of jiseung, or paper weaving. I dyed hanji with natural plant dyes, cut it into strips, corded it, and wove it into thes book covers. The edition of four is slightly varied in that it exists in two diffrerent colors, one dark, and one light, much like thephases of the moon--Artists statement |
