The artwork draws inspiration from ‘jogakbo’, 조각보, a style of traditional Korean bojagi cloth-making, and uses a collage of paper textures to quilt a patchwork of rabbits.
The artwork highlights the patchwork of families, friends, communities and cultures that had pieced together a colourful and multifaceted celebration during Lunar New Year in Australia. It is also a small reflection of my celebration during Lunar New Year in Australia as an Australian born Chinese living in a Korean household.
