Jee Park
Jee Park was born in Seoul, Korea. She holds a BFA in painting from the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY and an MA from New York University in New York City. Park’s practice deals with memory, loss and ritual. Her latest works are informed by the Suui- a traditional Korean hemp based burial garment, often used to initiate a rite of passage for the dearly departed. Elements representing the Suui, such as sleeves or string are stitched together with bedsheets, various textiles, and other personal or familial garments of the artist’s daily life. Recent exhibitions include Everything that Remains at Spinello Projects and Cut, Tear, Rupture and Overlay at Edge Zones Art Center in Miami, Florida-where the artist lives and works. Awarded grants include The Ellies, Miami’s visual arts awards, presented by Oolite Arts (2022).
