Korean sculptor Cha Jong-Rye works with wood as if it were clay or paint. She layers and meticulously sands hundreds of delicate wood pieces to carefully place them to create pockmarked canvases, threatening beds of thorns, or wall-sized recreations of crumpled cloth napkins. Jong-Rye completed her graduate work at Ewha Women’s University in Seoul in 1996 and has had numerous group exhibits since. Delicious, sensual and a wonderful example of breathing new life into a very old material:
Burn brightly, Pete
