Work 8403

Designer Professor Kyung-hee Hong Korean

Not on view

Kyung-hee Hong's Work 8403 explores the fluidity of metal and the tension between the vessel and its attenuated armature. She often uses kuromido, an alloy of copper with 1 percent metallic arsenic commonly associated with mokume-gani, the layering of metals used in seventeenth-century sword fittings.
