Claudia Pungaru, one of my students, turned me on to the work of Dr. Hyunju Lee. Lee’s work is typographic and she uses the Korean script Hangul<\/a> as a starting point for expressive interpretations – about Korean life and culture.<\/p>\n Ongoing right now is Typographic Exploration in Hangul: An Exhibition of work by Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo<\/em> (work pictured above) at the UC Davis Design Museum. In the show, letters evoke emotions – all tied to the tradition and sounds of the Hangul writing system.<\/p>\n For more information about the show, go here.<\/a> The Design Museum’s site is here.<\/a><\/p>\n The museum is open limited hours Monday thru Friday, and on Sunday afternoons. Show ends December 6, 2009.<\/p>\n Image found via design in society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\r\n\t
