Do Ho Suh's hugely popular installations have been drawing audiences around the world for more than two decades. Their themes of displacement, transience, and longing reflect the artist's own nomadic existence as a Korean emigre. Now this unique volume, which contains numerous previously unpublished drawings and sketches, reveals not only the genesis of Suh's sculptural and installation pieces but also his efforts to translate his artistic motivations to paper using a variety of traditional and non-traditional media. Grouped thematically around ideas of self-exploration, relationships, home, states of transition, and Karma, the book features works in pencil, airbrush, watercolour, rubbings, architectural renderings, and "thread drawings," which are sewn and embedded into handmade pulp. In addition, sketches from the artist's private notebooks show the inception points for the germination of his ideas. This book also includes three essays focusing on Suh's personal journeys, his architectural drawings, and paper sculpture. AUTHOR: Clara Kim is an independent curator and writer based in Los Angeles. Elizabeth A. T. Smith is an art historian, who has written extensively on contemporary art and architecture, and the Executive Director of the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation in New York. Rochelle Steiner is Professor of Art at the Roski School of Art and Design at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. 175 colour illustrations
