<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This Sunday,
the Cleveland Museum of Art opens its first Korean fashion
exhibit, which
includes contemporary designers and 17th century tomb excavated
garments from
Korea. Two of my dresses, one made from paper mulberry bark (the
same bark that
makes hanji), and the other made of hanji with a pattern printed
directly from
the bark dress, will be in the first gallery of the show. You
can read more
about my dress installation here: <a

class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://moonaimee.blogspot.com/2024/04/bark-celebration.html</a><br>
<br>
The show runs thru Oct 13, but due to the care required of
preserving the
artifacts, three months after the opening, the museum will
rotate the garments.
In the second rotation is one dyed with indigo, which inspired
the curators to
paint the walls a deep blue.<br>
<br>
I will present a free public interactive program on Sat, May 18,
demonstrating
bark lace making. You can make bark lace as we work on a
communal panel
throughout the day, view my bark lace printed art, see books and
samples, and handle
related objects from the museum's education collection.<br>
