Jewyo Rhii : The Day 3, Walls and Barbed

21 Nov 2017-21 Jan 2018

Overview

Jewyo Rhii is intrigued by that certain moment when a narrative is generated, the movement that occurs to make a story begin. Her art is infused by the experiences of her peripatetic life and her engagement with the particularity of the places and situations in which she finds herself. Rhii’s drawings and installations capture some of the resonance of these places, often using words to evoke aspects of both a physical and emotional landscape. She has spoken of the idea of ‘sculpting words’ and has at times constructed machines and devices that generate text through an interaction with bodily movement.
