I am smitten with this new artwork by Brooklyn artist Jung Eun Park made from embroidery, paper and coffee. and one piece (the last) from 2011. I featured Park’s work a while back. Enjoy.

Jung Eun Park is a Korean artist living in New York.

“Mostly my work has been about a relationship with my mother since I moved to New York and being separated from my family in a long distance. It became interests about a difficulty of communication, a fear of unconnected relationship, and a burden of being an independent person.”
