Jae Ko December 15, 2010

Dividing her time between Washington, D.C. and her home in Piney Point, Maryland, Jae Ko uses rolled paper soaked over time in water containing sumi ink or natural dyes to form spare, fluid-like sculptural objects. The Korean-born artist came to the United States to earn her MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. Her sculptural variations on the manipulation and coloring of tightly wound spools of paper transcend their materials and transform their space.
