Being an international student from China, Do Ho’s works that explore the concept of belongingness and those that challenges East Asian cultures really resonance with me.
I came across this 24 minute video when I was preparing for my artist presentation. The entire video is kind of long so I could not show the entirety of it during my presentation. However, this video gives a really nice presentation on how Do Ho’s styles evolved throughout the years starting from his days as a RISD student all the way to some of his works in the 2010s. In this video, the artist also talks about how his constant migration and self reflection throughout the years affected his major works. Though his is most known for this fabric sculpture works but hearing him talk about his lesser known projects especially those made during his earlier days in the United States is really fascinating.
