From On-Kyeong Seong’s show “Embedment,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, Feb. 5-Feb. 29. The gallery says:

“Known for her sumptuous, colorful works, the pieces on view highlight her idiosyncratic artistic practice of sewing directly onto unstretched canvas. She is fascinated by our universe’s delicate balancing act of creating a human world within a biological one. Her mixed media paintings, with layers and textures created by the process of pushing the canvas through the sewing machine, demonstrate the changes and influences created by human intervention.’’
