Sun K. Kwak masking tape art

Sun K Kwak is a New York based artist who uses matt black masking tape to create pieces of artwork. As reported on Artinfo, 'After years of frustration, dissatisfaction, and experimentation with different mediums, the tape idea came to her one morning in a flash; by afternoon she’d created her first work with it, and she felt freer and more gratified than she had in years."




Kwak has gone on to create site-specific installations at venues ranging from the Queens Museum of Art and Drawing Center in New York to Korea’s Gwangju Biennale to the House of World Culture in Berlin. Her latest, titled Enfolding 280 Hours, opens at the Brooklyn Museum this week.


Custom made tape for the job, i'm just thinking about all the things i could do with a collection of tape like this! ...

The above photos show Sun K. Kwak installing "Enfolding 280 Hours." A very beautiful and abstract result from such pragmatic, limited and functional materials.
