About The Traditional Korean Embroidery
Defining traditional Korean embroidery in a few words can be a challenge. It encompasses both ancient Korean embroidery artefacts and the modern artwork created using Korean embroidery techniques. While Korea's traditional embroidery shares commonalities with its East Asian neighbors, it possesses unique features that set it apart. The use of firmly twisted silk threads and a specific set of longevity symbols are among its distinguishing characteristics.
The most striking aspects that define Korean embroidery are the texture and three-dimensional effects achieved through the use of twisted threads. Additionally, the choice of colors and design compositions, laden with symbolic meanings, reflects both external and internal influences. While understanding the materials and spiritual components of Korean culture and art can deepen one's appreciation of Korean embroidery, sometimes it's enough to simply closely examine these works and admire the beauty of these handcrafted creations while sensing the time and effort invested in them.
In This Exhibition, You Will Discover
Jasu Jumeoni, which translates to embroidered pouches in Korean. Throughout Korea's history, a wide variety of pouches were created for different purposes, as traditional Korean clothing lacked pockets. Instead, Koreans would utilise various parts of their garments, such as wide sleeves, as pockets or pouches, depending on the occasion, irrespective of their social status.
One of the key distinctions between pouches used by the nobility and those of common people lies in the embroidery style. Royal embroidery, meticulously crafted by professional embroiderers, stands apart due to the level of twist in silk threads and the amount of gold thread used. This exhibition showcases a collection of traditional Korean pouches featuring royal embroidery, all meticulously handcrafted by Korean embroidery artist Heehwa Jo. Originally based in Seoul, she has spent a year in Edinburgh and is currently residing in London. Each piece is accompanied by informative captions that provide noteworthy insights into these exquisite creations.
