About The Exhibit: Shin-hee Chin: Rootedness:

Shin-hee Chin: Rootedness presents the work of decorated fiber and mixed-media artist Chin. Her art is a rich tapestry woven from diverse influences, including feminist traditions, Christian spirituality, and Eastern philosophy. This unique blend forms a coherent narrative addressing the complex issues of the female body, procreation and motherhood, mother tongue, cultural identity, cultural hybridity, and a sense of belonging. 

Chin’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including in Washington, DC, Tokyo, Geneva, Taiwan, and South Korea. Chin’s work has graced the covers of the Studio Art Quilt Associates Journal (Spring 2017) and the Surface Design Association Journal (Summer 2014). As an esteemed educator for 17 years, she is currently a Professor in the Visual Art Department at Tabor College, where she has made significant contributions through her teaching and mentorship. Chin has taught drawing, painting, color theory, and mixed media. She was elected as Distinguished Faculty in 2008.
