During her fall 2025 residency at KSMoCA, Yoonhee led workshops on paper making with every student in the school from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. There were six colors of paper using colors the artist selected from the traditional Korean color spectrum, also known as Obangsaek. Students made sculptural compositions using their finished paper tiles. 

“As an artist I strive to deepen my sensitivity to my surroundings and my art is the record of my own perception of our time. Simple items that are in my everyday orbit are the subject of my work. They have included bread bag tags, magic marker caps, Play-Doh container caps, popped balloons, vintage line tape, old cotton futons, and more. I am intuitively drawn to the unknown stories and hidden histories of these humble objects,” said Choi.

She studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, architecture at Yale University, and city planning at Hong-ik University in Seoul. Born and raised in South Korea, she currently lives in Portland, Oregon.

The exhibition opening takes place in the Cafetorium hallway and is open to the public. Please stop by the Main Office to sign in and receive a “Visitor” badge.
