Artist Practice

Cho works across painting, mixed media, and visual design, combining intuitive mark-making with an awareness of composition, structure, and visual hierarchy. Her work often develops through layering, obscuring, scraping, and reconstruction, allowing unexpected forms and relationships to emerge. She is interested in the emotional traces left by experiences of change and in the possibility of rebuilding from fragments.
