Material Memory Studio — Workshop

Material Library Visit

A Collection Gathered Across Years of Studio Practice

Drawing, painting, sculpture, bio, and installation materials — collected, tested, and kept across years of studio practice in different places. This isn't a hands-on making workshop. It's a guided visit into the collection itself: what each piece is, where it came from, and how it's used. Touch what you're curious about, ask questions, and leave with material knowledge you won't find written down anywhere.

The First Visit

This session began with a visit from the Organic Material Wave (유기물결) team — part of Louis The Woman's Round Credit program — on June 26, 2026. Jay is also a member of that team. What started as an informal show-and-tell of the collection became the seed for this offering.
