Remember what wonderful pictures scraps of fabric become when they fall into the hands of a really talented master of quilting, a kind of patchwork that we wrote about recently? First patchwork, then quilting, and today something called pojagi, - a variant of a patchwork from Korea, where not blankets and tapestries on the wall were made from pieces of fabric at all, but napkins for packaging, in particular, gifts. Korean artist Imi Hwangbo makes original installations in pojagi style. But she does not use fabric, but completely different materials. As we have already found out, poyaji in Korea is a kind of packaging. And the material that the artist uses for the author's poyaji is called mylar - also packaging, but in the form of a film based on synthetic polyester fiber. It is used both for food packaging and in industrial applications. Imi Wangbo opened a completely different path for mylar - to the world of art.
Hand-carved from thin mylar plates, the artist's floral installation details are reminiscent of pie cakes. Transparent only. Thus, the installations become voluminous and deep, and resemble wall sculptures, exquisite and graceful bas-reliefs in the traditional Korean style.
The mylar plates are fastened together like shreds in a pojaji. The same transparent, the same thin, the same neat and carefully selected. Unless the "seams" are processed not with thread, but with stable ink. A kind of Korean minimalism in a company to the traditional Japanese.
More information about unusual creativity can be found on the website of Imi Wangbo (Imi Hwangbo).
