About the artwork.
South Korean artist Seulgi Kwon uses silicone, thread, pigment, and paper to create works that mimic the translucency of glass and draw inspiration from cellular structure. Kwon’s large-scale brooches—such as Autumn Rains—and neckpieces reflect an interest in the natural world and she embodies an aesthetic that balances the familiar with the unfamiliar.
