Haein Song (b. 1979, Seoul, South Korea, based in London, UK)

Haein Song is a fellow of Designer Bookbinders and an artist working primarily with books as her medium. She uses traditional bookbinding techniques to create unique or limited-edition books, while employing a variety of printmaking methods, including linocut, drypoint, etching, cyanotype, monoprint and letterpress printing.

This exhibition features two of Song’s artist's books: Light / Folds (2022), featuring 16 cyanotype prints of paper foldings (jong-e-jeop-ki in Korean), interlaid between 7 text on the theme of memory, time and light; and Pain Memory (2019), which explores the experience of living with medically unexplained pain through drawings and text. Each work is accompanied by a series of four framed prints (2022 & 2019) drawn from the book.
