Hyon

Myungah Hyon is an artist and educator currently living in Chicago, IL. Through her artwork, she often attempts to connect and interact directly with the viewer. She is interested in combining incomplete, partial fragments that she encounters through everyday life. This symbolizes our society where we cooperate, relate and depend on one another despite each of us being totally unique. In her artwork, vulnerable, negligible parts become solid and significant when they are together.

Currently she is a faculty member (Associate Professor, Adj.) in the Department of Printmedia at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has been teaching various traditional and innovative bookbinding techniques and has held numerous Artists’ Books workshops and lectures internationally. Hyon curates the annual Artist Books show with the students’ work.
