Sojung Yu's thesis show entitled "Beyond the Truth" opened on Wednesday at the Dewberry Gallery. The show displays the work from her MFA Thesis project that is a retelling of the Korean myth of Dangun. The finished project is in the form of a book entitled "The Bear", and the show has all of the artwork that appears in the book, as well as two large oil paintings of Barrett, the bear that is the pivotal character in the story.

This is the book that Sojung wrote and produced. She had it printed and bound through Blurb, and the results are quite good; the color is true and the cover and binding are first quality. I highly recommend them for portfolio books and for sample picture books such as this.
