MiJin's Senior Gallery Showing


Jongno at Dusk

After a semester of weaving, sowing, dyeing and general textilie-ing into all hours of the night, MiJin is finally done with her senior exhibition. Her works turned out great and I'm very proud of her. Here are some pictures from her exhibition.

MiJin and her "sunflower" piece.
Made from thousands of toothpicks, dyed cloth, and a LOT of stitching.
My pictures cannot do it justice.

Fun night, next weekend big Halloween Punk Party!
I'm exactly 1/4 of the way done with my time in Korea. Wow.
The past 2 months have really flown by. I'm starting to realize that this is really a very different experience than I could have anywhere else. Thank you to everyone who's supported me in getting here.
