Sujean Park: Movement in the Colors

Loop of the Loom is excited to announce that they will be featuring the weaving of former Advanced Class student Sujean Park, in ‘Movement in the Colors’.
Through weaving on long warps continuously, she underwent a spiritual journey in the process of SAORI weaving, which began with many experiments and explorations. Here we will be able to share what she has discovered through her weaving for years.
If you want to know what makes SAORI weaving is different from other weaving, her works will tell you.

About the artist:
Sujean Park (@bySparkfull) is a weaver based in New York City. She comes from a family of visual artists. She initially pursued weaving as the tapestries created on the loom resembled her grandmother’s scroll paintings. The need for expression through unfurling tapestries is her inheritance. Weaving is a reflective and restorative practice for the artist; one that shows awareness and compassion to the artist and the materials. The interlacing of different, often delicate, threads and yarns creates soft strength. The individual strands reinforce each other and make new brilliant patterns, images, colors, and textures. At the same time, they remain pliable and can shape shift as they are pulled, folded, draped, stretched, and rolled. Through this practice, the artist’s intent is to spark light and positivity.
