Ami Park is a New York–based multidisciplinary artist working across textile sculpture, installation, and painting. Rooted in her background in wearable art, Park explores textile as a material that carries the memory of the body beyond its role as a second skin. Her practice investigates how soft materials can transform into spatial structures through processes of connection, accumulation, and transformation.

Through repetitive acts of binding, wrapping, and stitching, Park develops textile systems in which individual elements gather and interact like cellular structures within a larger organism. Each gesture of the hand contributes to the formation of a larger whole, allowing materials to respond to gravity, pressure, and their own physical properties. Rather than imposing fixed forms, she creates conditions where materials participate in their own transformation.

Working with rope, fabric, yarn, silicone, rubber, and other materials with distinct physical behaviors, Park explores the relationship between vulnerability and resilience, softness and stability. What begins as an intimate bodily gesture expands into architectural space, tracing a movement from the body to larger living systems. Her installations reveal how structures can emerge through repetition, connection, and continuous acts of care.
