Dayeon Jeong

A Korean American artist and fashion design graduate, centers her practice on auto-ethnographic textile design. Garments become sculptures and are activated as performance through intuitive, embodied processes. As an associate costume fabricator and co-designer, she continues to explore the relationality of postcolonial and deeply cultural and entangled material histories. As objects and as narratives, the costumes in A Meal reflect and entangle Japanese and Colombian roots, evoking acutely local yet globally resonant cycles of food consumption.
