WonSook Choi: Road to home

Wonsook Choi’s mixed media painting layers delicate stories through the lens of the viewer. She incorporates Nacre into her works giving them depth and texture. The flowers whisper through the window, calling for the viewer to share in the artist’s experience of observation. There is something she wants us to feel, to consider when looking out at nature. We are so close to the outdoor scene, yet placed apart, as to not share in the same environment. We take from her title Longing and search for what it is that she desires. Is it peace? Does she seek a life of serenity? Perhaps she is missing someone or something that was once apparent in her life.
