Harmony Series II, V — Stillness, Solitude, and Memory

Fiber & Mixed-Media Works in Denim by Jaclyn Bae

The Harmony Series explores quietness, inner balance, and emotional transformation through the tactile language of denim. Made from worn jeans and softened garments, each piece carries traces of daily life — creases, faded tones, and subtle imperfections.

Through bleaching, cutting, layering, and hand-stitching, the familiar fabric transforms into meditative compositions about memory, stillness, and renewal.

Harmony II — Stillness and Inner Quiet

“Harmony II” — stillness expressed through layered denim rhythms

In Harmony II, strips of repurposed denim are layered into a quiet vertical rhythm. The softened edges and faded tones suggest time-worn memories, while the stitching becomes a slow, contemplative gesture. The work holds a sense of stillness that feels both fragile and grounded.

Harmony V — Fragments of Memory

Harmony V gathers many small fragments into a single field. From a distance, the work reads as one calm surface; up close, each strip of denim reveals its own story of wear and time. The piece reflects how scattered memories can slowly find a new, unified rhythm.

Other Works from the Harmony Series

Across the Harmony Series, denim becomes both memory and metaphor — a second skin that documents ordinary moments and the quiet passage of time. Through cutting, bleaching, and hand-stitching, each faded fragment finds new purpose in a contemplative composition. The tactile surfaces invite reflection, reminding us how renewal and grace can rise from wear, time, and imperfection.

Over the Hill Series I, II, III

Over the Hill I Over the Hill II Over the Hill III Over the Hill Series (I–III) The “Over the Hill I–III” series is created with hand-dyed fabrics and mixed media, developed through a slow, layered process of coloring, washing, cutting, and composing textiles. Each piece captures the feeling of climbing a windy hill — pushing forward with effort, then pausing at the peak where a quiet sense of emptiness meets clarity. This work reflects on the human journey: the ascent, the labor, the moments of reflection, and the recognition that much of what we hold onto is temporary. The transparent layers and muted tones visualize the tension between weight and impermanence, suggesting that meaning often reveals itself at the edges of stillness and loss. Through this series, I invite viewers to consider their own passages — the hills they have climbed, the efforts m...

Art works-Window Installation

Window Series — Light, Memory, and Connection Textile and mixed-media window installations exploring the shifting boundaries between the inner and outer worlds by Jaclyn Bae . A window is more than an opening—it is a threshold between what is seen and what is felt. Using transparent silk, denim, handmade paper, natural branches, and suspended geometric forms, the Window Series visualizes memory, emotional landscapes, and the quiet presence of light. Each piece stands at the border between interior and exterior spaces, revealing how light, shadow, and time transform our perception. As viewers move, the works shift—mirroring the changing layers of life itself. Window Installation I — Tree & Growth Rings Created for a deck window using gray transparent silk, this installation integrates a hand-cut black-nylon tree with circular denim forms stitched in vibrant threads. The round patterns echo tree rings —the years...
