Chung Kwang Young

Korean abstract artist Chung Kwang young uses natural dyes and handmade mulberry paper to create his sculptures. He began working on his Aggregation series in the mid 1990s. Chun extracted the papers from old books and wrapped it around thousands of polystyrene triangles. Creating large meteoric installations looking cracked and weathered.
Chung Kwang Young on mulberry paper: “I think the thing I first saw [as a child] was my mother’s face, and then there was mulberry paper. This paper is not just for writing and drawing, but is like the spirit and soul of Koreans.”
