ARTIST BIO

Since the 1990s, Jaye Moon has been crafting interactive Braille paintings using Lego bricks. Leveraging the diverse colors and shapes of Lego pieces, Moon transcends the traditional boundaries of visual art by exploring the intricate relationship between touch and sight and creates a tactile abstract work.

Her selected exhibitions include the Nam June Paik Art Center, the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art in Korea, and the Queens Museum in New York. Moon received a Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant, the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Artist Fellowship, and an AHL Foundation Grant.
