Esther Cho is a Korean-American interdisciplinary artist, designer, and papermaker based in Madison, WI. Her research-based studio practice focuses on devising narrative installations for archiving the history and retelling the stories of Asian-Americans, children of immigrants, and Asian diasporas to consider the experience of identity, gender, loss of lineage, and cultural disconnect. She holds a BFA in both Craft & Material Studies and Interior Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. In 2017, she received the Windgate-Lamar Fellowship from the Center of Crafts to travel to South Korea to study the process of making hanji (Korean paper) and its related craft forms. She is currently the Student Representative on the Board of Trustees for The Furniture Society and is attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she is pursuing her Master of Fine Arts.
