Jae Ko at Grounds For Sculpture

Contemporary artist Jae Ko, whose work is currently on display in Intersections @ 5, opened an installation at Grounds For Sculpture in New Jersey earlier this year. The works are reminiscent of her original 2010 Intersections contemporary art project for the Phillips, Force of Nature. Both installations primarily use Kraft paper, but Ko responds specifically to the site in color and formation of the rolls.
