OMA SPACE CONTACT 128 Palpan Dong - Jongno Gu Seoul 3054 Republic Of Korea +82 10 91 64 3244 Kp@1-k.biz omaspace.com Oma Space is a design textile studio based in Seoul, Korea. From garments to art, its work connects the traditions and skills of ancient Asian textile practice through contemporary design. It has a distinct philosophy incarnated by respect for traditional handcrafts and the environment. NUMEN is the first large-scale textile installation based on the relation Oma Space has with nature, working only with natural elements and rural craft people all over Asia. NUMEN explores longstanding traditional expression that can find contemporary form where craft, art and design intersect. The essence of NUMEN remains primitive and shows a spirited representation of the cycle of nature, from birth to death. This cycle applies to all living things and all natural elements such as textiles. NUMEN (def): A divine power believed to inhabit a particular object.

SUE PARASKEVA Sue Paraskeva draws on traditional porcelain techniques to produce finely thrown vessels that often refer to personal and political issues. Using alteration and accident, her work reflects the weakness and strength of the human condition. Through this long-term development she is using an intimate visual language that is bound to her own physical and emotional gestures. She creates individual pieces and installations using the weight and dimensions of parts of the body. Silver wire joins together damaged and disregarded pieces, creating new forms of hope and expectations.
