Mingi Jung

The word ‘thread’ is defined as a significant plot line of a story or a string of fibre used in sewing. These definitions represent all aspects of this exhibition. Using sewing machines as their brushes, the artists colour their canvases with personal stories that many of audience can resonate. Higi and Mingi are siblings from the family who has been working with textiles for generations and their upbringings have enabled them to express their identities, ideologies and experiences on their textile canvases. Emotions such as hope, sorrow and more that they encountered calmly live in the soft cotton world of the artists. Traversing a variety of genres, the artists create not only paintings but performances.
