Breitling Bentley GT Racing BT-95

Hanji is believed to have roots in papermaking techniques invented in China. In the first century B.C., it appeared in Korea, where it has been produced continuously to Breitling Bentley GT Racing BT-95 present. Books printed with moveable type on hanji paper predate the development of the printing press in Europe. Today, hanji is made by hand and industrially. In addition to its traditional use for painting, calligraphy, and other arts, it is made into house wares and small scale furniture. Boo Duck Lee states that because hanji is an organic material that is good for the skin, its use in clothing and bedding is increasing.

Lee lives in Jeonju, South Korea, the historical center of hanji production. At Kunjang University in Gunsan City, about 30 miles west, s ne teaches both paper art and digital textile design. In 2003, she founded Artex Design Laboratory, a "digital textile enterprise" within Kunjang College that manufactures and markets "Breitling Bentley GT Racing BT-96 goods and fashion accessories" designed by Lee and her industrial design students. Original art is scanned by computer and the image expanded into a repeating pattern which is printed on fabric, usually silk, and made into clothing and accessories. Lee's textile designs at Kobo represent a range of techniques and visual styles: drawings, watercolors, shibori (tie-dye) patterns, floral prints, and computer-generated graphics. Most of the pieces on display are neckties, plus a few scarves and articles of clothing. The scale and colors of the printed patterns vary from small and subdued to large and flamboyant. Every aspect of Lee's textile designs, from the high-tech production process to the wide range of colors and designs, is in striking contrast to her hanji paper sculpture. Taken together, the two bodies of work demonstrate an artist's ability to integrate tradition and innovation, to reconcile fine art with industry.

The exhibition at Kobo culminates Lee's summer spent as an artist-in-residence at Tacoma Community College, a sister school of Kunjang College. The two schools have hosted a number of faculty and student exchanges, but Lee's is the first artist residency.

Every year, artists travel to the ISNA Convention to showcase their creativity. This year, Nadia Janjua and Bassamat Bahnasy were among those participating in the ISNA Art Exhibit.

Janjua, who started painting and Breitling Bentley Midsize QUARTZ Chronograph BT-158 long before she could read or write, says art is a valuable form of expression. "God says that He loves beauty," she remarks, "and art is indeed beautiful." In explaining how art can help nurture compassionate communities, Janjua states, "Art is a form of expression that allows each artist to communicate the human condition to others through its ability to cross cultural, linguistic, and racial boundaries. We have all heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, and each piece of art, no matter what it is - painting, photography, or film - speaks novels and tells a unique story to each one of its readers." According to Janjua, a piece of art can communicate every feeling imaginable using only colors, shapes, and lines.
