About me
Everyone is living with a little bit loneliness. I am also sensitive to that loneliness and I enjoy it. When I was a child, I used to make drawings or sculptures made of clay, but some of my friends touched to break or damage those. I remember I was so distressed and cried about that being unaware of the reason why. In fact, at that time I was so quiet that some people around me thought me as a dumb. Maybe I was too passive and introspective and they thought me that. I was not interested in getting together with others. To fill that loneliness I made and drew something more and collected toys which were very important to me. The times I played with toys is now very helpful to my working. Since then, keeping on living with drawings, I entered the junior and high school of art where I also enjoyed staying alone unlike peers and so I was able to concentrate on my own work quietly alone. Then I got interested in Korean folk Paintings which need to be drawn delicately so I used to learn the theory and practice of that. In my days of university of the arts, I had the opportunity to learn the various engravings, glass art, ceramics, etc. I was able to attempt many kinds of works.
During this growth period, I have traveled over many places since childhood. My parents making much about the travel were media led me who was quiet and calm to new places.
Projects
- Dust icecreamThe way of working on my artworks through a process of walking around in real ‘places’ as if I travel has helped me to be able to alive and breathe, so to speak, from which I can get the fruits of what I’m truly after. This process enables me to be touched by strong impression, and so I can wonder, see and feel attached to and finally pursue new things without staying fixed into a certain place. It is so important and happy for me to look for freedom from myself based on a new thing. On the con

- 100 days, the Young challenge!This project for revitalizing the traditional market in the small region. In particular, 'Euijeongbu' Project was initiated to revitalize the market propelled jointly with the provincial Governor Kim Moon-Soo, officials of self-governing bodies, and University students studying business administration under the slogan of “Creating Culture Flowing Market.”. This project was for trying to find a solution to the limit of conventional market’s system as the change in times. I installed a two-story container on the rooftop and introduced the elements of folk paintings in my work considering the features of conventional market (worked on the outer and internal wall of the container (approx 30 m x 3 m)). As the results, three (3) big-sized containers and one (1) small-sized container were installed on the rooftop of the market. The small-sized container provided the jobless of the district with a job of restaurant. The Korean style eating between meals were developed within the limits of not giving damage to the market. For revitalizing the market, the space of rooftop added the functions of rest stops, reading books, and eating the purchased foods at the market inexpensively to the shopping function of market.
