Stitched Goose

SUMMARY W 8.66" × D 2.36" × H 5.91" Ceramic Made in Korea   In traditional Korean weddings, the groom would carry a wooden goose figurine. More than a decorative object, the goose served as a meaningful symbol—marking the beginning of the ceremony and embodying the values of a faithful and harmonious marriage. Geese are known to mate for life, symbolizing enduring love, fidelity, and trust between partners. Their long migratory journeys, always traveled together, also reflect the idea of a couple sharing life’s path side by side. This piece offers a modern interpretation of that tradition, delicately hand-stitched with fabric and thread. The two geese, quietly nestled together, evoke a sense of warmth and simplicity—bringing a gentle blessing not only to weddings, but to everyday spaces as well.   Stitched Collection – Time Sewn into Clay Stitched Collection is a series of quiet, tender objects that echo the texture of hand-sewn fabric. Instead of thread and cloth, they are stitched with clay and care—each piece slowly shaped by hand, offering warmth and presence to everyday life. Artist Sohye Jung creates with the intention of “dressing the old in something new.” Inspired by traditional Korean pottery and the textile practices once passed down through generations of women—quilting, patching, and hand-sewing—she constructs each form as if making a garment. Layers of fabric are sewn together into soft shapes, then carefully translated into clay, preserving every wrinkle, fold, and imperfection. These cloth molds often collapse or crease, and she embraces those accidental distortions as part of the work. In her process, intention meets chance, and what emerges are quiet vessels of memory and resilience—ceramics not only shaped by hand, but stitched with story. Artist Sohye Sohye is a ceramic artist based in Korea who explores the tactile possibilities of clay by mimicking the softness of stitched and quilted textiles. Each piece is meticulously shaped by hand, capturing the texture of woven fabric and the charm of hand-sewn details. Her Stitched Ceramics series combines the strength of earth with the warmth and flexibility of cloth, inviting everyday use with a touch of wit, care, and craft.
