Material Log: Module Study 001

08/28/2026

When the Asian Art Museum | San Francisco reached out ahead of their Ha Chong-Hyun retrospective, I was so excited because I was already exploring themes deeply parallel to his material practice. Ha Chong-Hyun, a pioneering Korean contemporary artist, is known for radical experimentation that redefined what a painting can be. My work mirrors his dialogue between restraint and freedom, developing a modular system of ott-finished hanji components and using a fixed set of rules to unlock infinite, open-ended variations.

The Ha Chong-Hyun: Retrospective exhibition opens September 25, 2026 at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco!

The Anatomy of Organized Play šŸ“āœØ

I partnered with Mustard Made Ā· Statement Storage to build the perfect storage system for my new project.ā€Ø
When diving into a new body of work, the hardest part isnā€™t the craft, itā€™s managing the creative chaos. I needed a dedicated space where my tools and swatches could live in.ā€Ø
Enter my new studio system: The Lowdown and The Storyboard.ā€Ø
I was instantly drawn to the Lowdown because its low profile reminds me of a traditional Korean ģž„ (Jang), cabinetry designed to center the energy of a room closer to the ground. Thereā€™s also something nostalgic about the locker aesthetic; it brings back that permanent ā€œstudentā€ mindset, keeping me curious and ready to learn.ā€Ø
Setting it up in my studio was quick and seamless, giving me an instant, modular system to categorize my R&D. Now, everything has a home, the chaos has a shape, and the organized play can finally begin.

Featured: The Lowdown, The Storyboard, and Baskets in Chalk.

The most insane part about all of this is that they are all technically edible.

Hanji ķ•œģ§€ is made from mulberry, which we brew into teas. Perilla oil ė“¤źø°ė¦„ is a kitchen staple. And Ott is actually used as a legendary health remedy.

Natureā€™s most resilient shield doesnā€™t come from a lab, it comes from a treeā€™s defense system.

The process of getting this lacquer relies on the Korean Lacquer Tree, known in Korea as ģ°øģ˜»ė‚˜ė¬“ (Cham-ot-namu). Native to the region, this specific tree secretes a brilliant protective sap called ģ˜» (ott) to seal its wounds. It is an ancient, thousand-year-old craft that requires an immense amount of patience, maturing over a thousand days from a muddy dark paste into a translucent amber glow.

Disclaimer: The tree pictured in the background of this video is just a beautiful tree hanging out in Prospect Park.
