Experience Evergreen artist-in-residence Tai Hwa Goh’s transformation of the Gilded Age mansion’s grand main staircase into a three-dimensional sculpture using enlarged, cut, and reworked hand waxed prints inspired by the museum and library collections.
Tai Hwa Goh is a Korean-born printmaker and paper artist living in the New Jersey Palisades. As Evergreen’s tenth artist-in-residence, she will transform the grand main staircase, which once marked the transition from social to private space, into a three-dimensional sculpture using enlarged, cut, and reworked hand waxed prints inspired by the museum and library collections. The installation forges a physical relationship with the architectural space and surfaces, inviting viewers to engage with and consider the materiality of prints. Marked by the artist’s interest in contrasting the fragility of works on paper with concrete architectural elements, the work invites multiple interpretations and questions the concept of print reproduction.
