The Sydney Morning Herald has comprehensively looked into craftsmanship epitomised in the exhibition of “The Journey of Time” taking place at the Korean Cultural Centre in Sydney.
The article titled ‘Objects of painful patience and perfection’ by a renowned art critic John McDonald in the Spectrum, the Art section of the Sydney Morning Herald adds “It’s almost painful to imagine the hours, days, weeks and months that have gone into the creation of the works at the exhibition, in order to transform raw materials into things of intricate beauty.”
At the opening of the exhibition, one of the artists, Bogki Min, a maker of exquisite small metal brooches, said that the essence of Korean craft was "recovery from pain".
The Journey of Tim features 81 pieces by 22 Korean artists – several of them honored with that quaint Korean title, "intangible cultural asset", and the exhibition will open till 14 September at the Korean Cultural Centre in Sydney.
