As an extension of the artist’s previous show A Requiem in the Garden, exhibited at Gallery Stokes in 2009, Hur constructs a poignant, visual landscape with layers of hand-shredded silk flowers on an ambitious scale. Collected silk flowers are carefully disassembled and hand-shredded by the artist and a community of people around her. The pattern produced by this labor-intensive installation references the artist’s mother’s wedding blanket, beckoning memories of the past and inherent ephemeral comfort. The artist’s methodical destruction and reassembly of the silk flowers creates an introspective site, transforming the gallery into a place where internal memories lie in repose.
