Description
|
Notes:
|
Handmade artist book by Cha. Blue and red color photocopies of Cha's mother and father are placed alternately with Korean calligraphy in the plastic envelopes. Cha has manipulated the photocopy process to change the images of mother and father ie. darker, lighter, etc.
|
Notes:
|
The images of Cha's mother and father are possibly prior to their exile from Korea and arrival in America. They look very young. The images of the mother is reproduced in Cha's artist book "Dictee."
