Jiha Moon’s Artistic Breakthrough

by John Yau January 13, 2022January 13, 2022

It is precisely Moon’s openness to using any source that makes her work flamboyant, captivating, odd, funny, smart, uncanny, comically monstrous, and unsettling. And, most of all, over the top.

by John Yau January 11, 2020January 10, 2020

by John Yau March 2, 2014March 5, 2014
