Hwa Goh’s recent work attempts to delineate the boundary between the inner and
outer realms of the body. She is specifically interested in revealing the body’s
experience through sense perception. Her aim is to expand the boundaries of
perception towhole body, which she believes to be the domain of basic
human experience. For Goh, the limitation of the corporeal is also the starting
point to explore the body’s vulnerability and make an inquiry into the nature of
human existence. She explores the opaque and ambiguous world between oblivion
and memory, and the dichotomy between the resilient, yet vulnerable body and the
recoverable, rather strong selfness. By
transmitting her own experience using these images and spatial structure, she is
experimenting with cognitive expansion and probing the shared domain of human
experience, where similarity of images begins to form a symbolical linguistic
system. Tai Hwa Goh creates installations that blur the definition
between printmaking and sculpture. Her highly labor-intensive creations showcase
the technical skills she has to create three-dimensional forms utilizing the
traditional printmaking methods. Her worksevokes biological
forms and landscape, reflecting on the accumulation of memory and
experience. Born in South Korea, Tai Hwa Goh received her Bachelor’s
degree from Seoul National University and her Master’s degree from the
University of Maryland. Her work has been shown at various prominent
institutions and art events in New York and New Jersey such as International
Print Center New York, DUMBO Art Festival, Islip Museum, William Paterson
University, AIR Gallery, and Snug Harbor Center for the Art. She had an
installation show at Sunroom Project Space at Wave Hill and BRIC. Her list of
awards includes but are not limited to Lower East Side Print Shop, Elizabeth
Foundation for the Arts, National Endowments for the Arts, Guttenberg Art,
Emerge 11 and Vermont Studio Center. She was the Artist-in-Residence at the
Museum of Arts and Design’s Artist Studios Program in 2017, and the Gold Award
winner of AHL Foundation’s AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Awards
2017. This commissioned exhibition is a part of AHL Foundation’s Art in
the Workplace Program, which exhibits contemporary artwork in work environments
to create greater exposure for talented artists, while fostering easier access
and support for the arts within the business community. The Art in the Workplace
program is presented in collaboration with Jason J. Kim Dental
