Item details
Ran Hwang’s inspiring “Blossoms” landscape graces the wall of this conference room at Pritzker Group’s L.A. headquarters.
The New York-based artist incorporates buttons secured with nails to a painted panel, in a process that she describes as intense manual labor performed in a meditative state, hammering thousands of pins, not unlike a monk engaged in Zen practice.
Hwang is best known for her large-scale wall installations in which buttons, beads, pins, and threads on wood panels form images of falling blossoms, vases, Buddhas, and birds. Her installations have also taken on more current themes, exploring the fashion industry and female identities in popular culture.
