Work in Progress

정다연 Dayeon Jeong (b. Los Angeles, CA) is a New York-based conceptual artist working across textiles, printed matter, installation and experimental costume design.

Her ongoing research and material practice engages patternmaking and safflower dyeing to explore Korean historiography, colonial cartography and textile tradition. She is interested in how bodies and sites are mapped and remembered across personal and imperial scales.

Dayeon earned her BFA in Fashion Design from Pratt Institute in 2024, where she was a Geraldine Stutz Scholar. Her thesis collection, When the Moon Waxes Red, was showcased at Powerhouse Arts and featured in publications including Hypebeast, Vogue Runway and Fashionista. Her performance and theater costumes have been staged in productions at HERE Arts Center and The Tank. Most recently, she received the Windgate Fellowship as a 2025 Visual Arts Fellow at the Vermont Studio Center.
