Why one name
A cut grows out in six weeks.
A tattoo stays for life.
Both are what a hand leaves on a person.

선 means line. The line of the scissors, the line of the needle, the line of the brush. We put both of ours under it.

A side project. We visit people in Korea who work with their hands — the seal carver, the carpenter, the woman who makes hanji — and film them the way we film ourselves. Episode one is us.
