어릴 적 한옥에서 살았던  경험을 바탕으로 존재하지 않는 가상의 공간을 재구성하는데 관심이 많습니다.  한옥의 창호지 창문을 통해 들어온 따스한 햇살의 느낌과 낡아 구멍 난 창호지 문을 통해 본 자연의 풍경을 소환하여 작업을 합니다. 맏 며느리로 오랜 동안 제사를 모시면서 익숙한 향으로 한지를 태우고 그 자국을 이용하여 이미지를 만들고 몇 겹의 중첩을 하여 상호 조화로운 나만의 숲을 만듭니다. 일정하면서도 불규칙한 패턴, 태우는 방향성과 시간에 비례하여 작품의 조형 적인 변주를 만들고  의도 된 이미지와 의도 되지 않은 형상이 어우러져 상호 유기적인  겹의 중첩을 하여 상호 조화로운 나만의 숲을 만듭니다. 숲에 존재하는 색,선 면의 형태를 가져와 재 해석하여 작가만의 숲을 만듭니다. 살면서 개인적  고통을  경험할 때마다 마주했던 숲의 재생력 과 복원력을 작품을 통해서 표현함으로써, 자연이 지닌 회복 력 과 치유의 힘을 관객과 공유하는 시간이 되기를 기대해 봅니다.
 






1.what inspired the work?
A soft beam of light came from the paper window, reflection of diverse objects on the window, various images seen through the worn window holes inspired me deeply.
2.what do you hope its viewers will feel? Through my creations, I invite everyone to discover a tranquil forest within their heart, offering a chance to pause, breathe, and find peace amidst life's chaos.
 3. why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? Hanji, Korean traditional paper, is a translucent material. Hanji was used to make the paper window, hence it made the same “reflecting effect” on the canvas. Incense &Hanji are used for ancestral rites .As a daughter-in-law who has participated in ancestral rites for a long time, the ritual burning process was familiar to me. This familiarity led me to incorporate traces left by burning Korean paper with incense into my work. I flame incense first and I burn the paper. if so, there are burn marks on paper. I layered it repeatedly on my canvas so it can look transparent. Forest is a place where countless living organisms interact, creating a microcosm where the energy circulates endlessly and life regenerates. It stimulates the five senses, restoring vitality and encouraging human beings to rest, reflect, and connect with their inner selves. During times of pain, I turned to the forest for solace; it rejuvenated my spirit and brought me back to life. This mysterious place became my sanctuary. The enigmatic qualities of the forest inspire me to capture its essence through my artwork, reinterpreting its various elements in forest -lines, planes, and colors. it is ready to hang

Andante25abc

Andante36

1. What / who inspired you the most?
My greatest inspiration comes from my childhood memories of living in a traditional Korean house. The soft light passing through paper windows, reflections, and the worn textures of Hanji deeply influenced my imagination.
2. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think?
I hope viewers will experience a sense of calm and reflection, as if walking through a quiet forest within themselves. My work is an invitation to pause, breathe, and find peace amidst the chaos of everyday life.
3. Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style?
I chose Hanji, traditional Korean paper, because it holds both personal and cultural meaning for me. The act of burning it with incense reflects the rituals I have long practiced, merging memory, tradition, and chance. This process allows me to reinterpret nature’s energy—lines, colors, and forms—into abstract expressions that connect the past with the present.
