Handwoven landscapes
- • Geometry is at the heart of all of Dukjoo's work
- • She is interested in the intersection of architecture and crafts
- • Her work is a process of perfection
Dukjoo Choi studied art at Sookmyung Women’s University, she learned Jogakbo work from Hyunhee Kim. Upon the traditional Korean crafts, she builds formative beauty through rich colours by natural dyeing and geometrical composition. In order to preserve the emotion and style that is quintessentially Korean, she consciously distanced herself from materials formed in the industrialised world and dedicates substantial proportions of her time and energy to develop natural fabrics and dyes. She has participated in various group exhibitions and has held solo exhibitions in Vienna, Budapest, Zlin, Madrid, Brussels and Seoul. Her works are collected by many institutions and individuals around the world.
