HoMi Hand Plow (self-portrait), 2020
Oil on canvas | Unframed: 100 x 80 cm
‘HoMi Hand Plow is a self-portrait that explores the enclosed garden with the overgrown thistle and chainlink fencing. It is inspired by the Très Riches Heures as well as a portrait of a young Marie Antoinette. It also plays with my own Korean heritage, with the inclusion of the Korean homi hand plow.’
