Box with Many Angles
Kim Seol Korean
Not on view
Kim Seol draws from various traditional methods to create new techniques, such as the blending and layering of red and black lacquer or the addition of tofu to texture the resin. With this box she creates a complex asymmetrical shape with no identical surfaces and complicates the ornamentation by combining incising and inlay techniques. She contrasts the bright white opacity of the inlaid quail eggshell with the pearly luster of the mother-of-pearl.
