Haji Oh is a third generation Zainichi Korean artist born and raised in Japan, now living in Wollongong, NSW. She creates installation works utilising textile-making techniques such as weaving, dyeing, and unravelling, as well as photography, cyanotype, text, and audio. Since 2017 Haji Oh has engaged in an extended series of creation and installation work titled ‘Grand-mother Island Project’, in which she traces the trajectories of people who have crossed the Pacific Ocean between Japan, Korea, Nauru, Torres Strait, Australia, and places in-between. 'Grand-Mother Island Project: Chapter 1- Nautical Map' is the first part of this project, focussing on the individual narratives that are interwoven with global histories to create new communities. Oh is represented by THIS IS NO FANTASY, Melbourne.
