On display now in our 24/7 Display Window: HOLD CLOSE
by Laura Kern

Hold Close explores the delicate tension between protection and vulnerability—where care can both comfort and confine. Through sculptural works that cocoon metal in fabric, Laura Kern creates forms that feel at once shielded and exposed.

These pieces invite reflection on what it means to protect, preserve, and hold something—or someone—close.

Wrapped in traditional Korean bojagi cloth, Bound by Bojagi beautifully illustrates the ties that connect generations, cultures, and family stories.

In this striking digital illustration, artist Castagnari portrays herself and her mother bound together in vibrant patterns that symbolize their multicultural heritage. Though her mother does not share her Korean background, the bojagi becomes a powerful metaphor for connection—stitching together different histories, identities, and experiences into one shared story.

On view now as part of Identities Playground at Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County.
