For the past several years, Shin has been creating works in which she takes a shirt or a dress and deconstructs it by cutting away the fabric and leaving behind a continuous linear band around the stitch. The remaining seam structures create an abstract linear drawing in space, relating to the body's skeletal structure, proportion and gestures.

Shin's Seam works have existed in many scales from a single article of clothing to a larger collection of clothes that suggest a clothesline. The installation become a way to survey through their clothes
the identity of institutions like MoMA, Cornell University and the US military community.

Of her print project with the Lower East Side Printshop, Shin says: "I wanted to continue this investigation in the medium of print. Here I have taken my own blouse, pair of jeans and coat and deconstructed them. By gluing the piece onto plates that are inked, we literally put the clothes through the press. I wanted to reference the notion of pressing clothes in the laundry or dry cleaning process. Together these collagraphs become a self portrait."
