SCAD Museum of Art: Gyun Hur exhibition: 'There is peace like a river' ์ ๊ธฐ์ ๊ฐ๊ฐ์ ํํ๊ฐ South Korean-born artist Gyun Hur (SCAD M.F.A., sculpture, 2009) marks a return to Georgia, the U.S. state to which she immigrated as a young teen. This body of work reflects on personal and collective memories of the American South refracted through her family history and heritage. Hand-blown glass vessels filled with local Savannah River water and cast glass fossils adorn the gallery walls, giving sculptural form to the symbolism of rivers as sites for processing grief and for generating life. Hur also shows a series of intimate drawings and writings that engage with archival photographs from the postwar period in Korea.
