As visitors walk around the installation, the start black cut-outs transform into a field of vibrant color. His forms are found in old textbooks –Victorian botanical illustrations that he meticulously cuts out and hand paints.
This exhibition can be seen now in Seocho, Seoulin, and ends on February 12, 2012. It has been making its way around the world for a few years now, including locations such as Australia, Israel and the U.S.
