Item Description
"Joo Lee Kang’s intricately rendered ballpoint pen drawings of flowers, animals, and insects seduce with their opulence and abundance while expressing the artist’s concerns about the fragility of the earth’s ecosystem. She uses a vernacular of ornamentation—lavish wallpaper, decorative ceramics, festoons and swags—to suggest historical periods of decadence and luxurious material consumption.
- Kristina L. Durocher, Director, Museum of Art, University of New Hampshire"
