Toman Branch hosts an Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month art exhibit through the month of May featuring artist Chanhee Choi.
Born in 1986, Chanhee Choi is South Korean and lives and works in Chicago and New York. She earned her BFA degree from Dongduk Women University in 2013 and received her MFA in Fiber and Material Studies at School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Her work has been shown at Chicago Expo, School of The Art Institute in Chicago and the Defibrillator Performance Art Gallery, as well as at venues in Germany, Korea, and cities throughout the United States. She has held residency at Auto Center Contemporary Art Space in Berlin. Choi meditates through repetitive and time-consuming processes such as ceramics and embroidery. As her obsessions surrounding the fantastical increased, she delved further into complex contemporary art mediums such as animation, game design, and neon sculptures.
