Do Ho Suh: Works on Paper: at STPI by
A sculptor and installation artist, Korean-born Do Ho Suh (born 1962) is best known for his full-scale fabric works in which he meticulously reimagines the architectural space of his past homes and studios. Since collaborating with Singapore's STPI - Creative Workshop & Gallery in 2009, Suh has turned to print and paper as a new medium to channel and recreate these forms. The resulting Thread Drawings, developed using an innovative technique that employs thread as a sculptural material on handmade paper, represent an important breakthrough in Suh's repertoire. The artist's Gelatine Drawings extend from this technical approach to capture a range of dimensional domestic structures, objects and in-between spaces flattened on a single plane, rendered spectral, foldable and mobile. This book also documents Suh's pastel rubbings of interior spaces and everyday objects that disclose and memorialize details of his surroundings, as well as etchings, lithographic prints and cyanotypes.

Do Ho Suh: Drawings by
Focusing on Do Ho Suh's works on paper, this volume allows readers to trace the development and progression of the artist's drawing practice. Themes of displacement, transience, and longing reflect the artist's own nomadic existence as a Korean émigré. This volume, which contains numerous previously unpublished drawings and sketches, reveals not only the genesis of Suh's sculptural and installation pieces but also his efforts to translate his artistic motivations to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, watercolor, rubbings, architectural renderings, and "thread drawings," which are sewn and embedded into handmade pulp.
