Dahye Jeong. Object: A Time of Sincerity, 2021. Horsehair. 37.5 x 29 x 27 cm. Awarded at: LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2022. Delicate yet solid, this basket is woven out of thin horsehair to create a flexible geometric design that transposes a 500-year-old Korean  Joseon dynasty technique traditionally used in Sabanggwan hat-making and combines it with an ancient earthenware form. Exploiting the natural elasticity of the horsehair fiber, it has been threaded onto a needle and woven into loops to create a work that expresses both the robustness and the beauty of life..
