Korean Craft at Tent during the London Design Festival

29/09/2014

Korean Craft (8)

You know how sometimes you just want peace and quiet? Well, I found it here in this exhibition of Korean work, Constancy & Change, at Tent. It’s a touring exhibition, having first been at La Triennale di Milano and now on its way to Hangzhou in China before ending in Seoul.

Mark Rothko  expressed it very succinctly when he said that people look for “pockets of silence”, something he hoped they found in his work. I am one of those people and aim for the same type of experience through my art.
