Book Arts Roundtable with visiting artist Jiyoung Chung

Jiyoung Chung is a paper artist, painter and freelance writer who shows her works nationally and internationally. She has developed an innovative method for utilizing a traditional Korean method of papermaking called Joomchi into contemporary art form.

Chung (B.F.A. RISD / M.F.A. Cranbrook Academy of Art) is the author of Joomchi & Beyond. Her work has been exhibited in some 27 solo shows at venues throughout Korea, the U.S. (including MCBA), Australia, France, Finland, and the United Kingdom. In 2010, she curated the International Korean/ American Joomchi show for European Patchwork Meeting in France, which later toured in Korea (2010, 2011) and the U.S. (2012). Recently, she was awarded an Award of Excellence by the American Craft Council and the Adrianna Farrelli Prize for Excellence in Fiber Art by the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. Her works are in the permanent collections of Fidelity Corporate Art Collection, Boston, and Museum of Art and Design, New York.
