Tai Hwa Goh, an artist working with printmaking and paper installation, was born in Seoul, Korea, where she spent her childhood years through college. Goh received an MFA from the University of Maryland and also another MFA and BFA at Seoul National University in Korea. Goh has had over 10 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows at leading galleries, such as IPCNY (NY), Islip Museum (NY), Flashpoint Gallery (DC), Gallery Aferro (NJ), A.I.R Gallery (NY), Arlington Arts Center (VA), School33 (MD), Space Gallery (Cleveland, OH), and the Consular Office at Embassy of Korea (DC and NY). She has been awarded many grants and residencies, including Evergreen Museum & Library (MD), Vermont Studio Center (NY), Lower East Side Print Shop (NY), DC Commissions on the Arts Humanities and Prince George's Art Council (MD). Her works are included in the collections of the DC City Hall, Lower East Side Print Shop and University of Maryland. Goh creates artwork in which an innovative integrated medium of printmaking is put together to create a new art form that is symbolic and physical.


Recently I have been most interested in the irony and the contrast between the fragility of prints on paper and concrete architectural elements, and the contrast between the vulnerable human being and the monumental layers of his history.

This interest extends to experimental displays of my prints- specifically, the installation series "Lull". The hand waxed prints, created by traditional printmaking techniques, are mounted onto walls, floors, ceilings, and windows (the hand waxing process gives the prints transparency so images can be viewed from the outside and inside of windows). Through the process of folding, cutting, flipping and overlapping the prints, the images are gradually transformed and grow into space, questioning  the concept of the reproduction of prints. The source is two dimensional, yet the images break out into a three dimensional sculptural existence. Crossing over the limits of two or three dimensional understanding, my irregular, unfixed, mutable, and continuous installation opens the possibility of multiple interpretations of human beings and art.
