Moeller Moeller Prelude of book , " KOREAN WALL " There is a wall between North and South Korea … That wall symbolizes the sad , sad story of a proud Asian people , the Koreans who have always been struggling for their survival and existence as a culture and a nation . That wall is not built of rocks like the castle in Suwon . That is a fence of steel making an ugly scar through the beautiful Korean landscapes from the East Sea to the Yellow Sea in the west . However I know another wall , the Korean Wall … That wall is also a sad , sad story of Korea about death and humiliation … but opposite the strongly guarded wall between North and South Korea there is a tiny opening in the Korean Wall with promises of hope and freedom … Seoul , October 9 th 2006 Moeller Moeller 아래 메뉴 및 youtube 를 클릭 하 면 동영상 이 보입니다 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ------------------------- They are both created by a Korean painter , my soul mate and close friend in Korea . The two pieces of artwork are parts of a monumental work of art including 280 pieces of sewing on painted cotton , very feminine and very meticulous needlework . No doubt that the artist is a woman . The idea behind the artwork is my friends wish to tell the world about her mother ' s sad story and at the same time pay homage to all women . The number 280 refers thus to the number of days in the pregnancy like the title ” 280 days ” . The colours used are blood red in many nuances illustrating menstruation . Many of the abstract motives are uterines and placentas of mothers . The inspiration comes from my Korean friend ' s obtained knowledge about the secret of her birth . Immediately the two paintings in my house are extremely eye catching with their blood coloured quadratic motives mounted on the ivory natural coloured cotton behind their square Acryl plates . From their position on my wall the paintings are overlooking my upper level TV - room and the lover level library and sofa room enjoying the panoramic view through the windows over the lake with the white swans surrounded by the green forest . The paintings bridge the Korean and Danish cultures and connect my soul to Korea like the umbilical cord connects the unborn embryo to her mother via placenta inside uterine . My immediate perception of the paintings - when they were unpacked during a Korean dinner including Kimchi which my friend prepared and served in our house during her stay in Denmark summer 2005 - was feminine themes illustrating female sexual and reproductive organs . This first impression was afterwards confirmed by my Korean friend . Painting CMJ 33 are composed of many layers of blood coloured pieces of cotton sewed on the basic ivory natural coloured cotton by meticulous stitches of red and white sewing thread . Near the centre is a very dark red spot which seems to be the bottom of a gorge or tunnel . The walls are composed by many red layers in different nuances . I perceive the dark spot as the opening to the uterine and the gorge of the vagina probably because I ’ m a male but also based on my friend ' s explicit expressed theme of birth , maternity and menstruation . A very dramatic , very unique and very suggestive piece of art . And by the way , the colour matches the furniture and carpet in our TV - room . Painting CMJ 34 is also composed of many layers of blood coloured pieces of cotton sewed together by stitches of red sewing - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ------------------------- No posts match your query .
