Description

This black-on-black scarf by visual artist and filmmaker Y. David Chung takes on traditional Korean themes with a contemporary spin. In place of peonies and clouds, which symbolize prosperity and longevity, Chung inserts his own imagery: drawings of a car, a duck, garlic, a molotov cocktail, and a turtle ship (utilized in naval battles against Japan in 1592). Each is encased within an octagonal vignette.

David Chung, in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia.

Designed by Y. David Chung in collaboration with FWM, 1996
