Elizabeth Joo,


Elizabeth Joo is a Chicago-based artist who explores the depths of emotional experience through her work. Believing that the act of feeling emotions affirms our existence, she began in 2021 to analyze and deconstruct the essence of emotions via emotion documentation. Utilizing the meditative and precise technique of embroidery, Joo translates these insights into abstract sculptures and installations. Her art bridges the complex interplay between the diverse facets of emotions and human existence, offering a visual representation of inner life.

She received a BFA in the Department of Ceramics & Fiber Arts from Seoul Women’s University in 2020. 
In 2023 she received an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
