자연은 주변을 반영한다. 나는 주로 자연물을 활용한 과정중심적이고 수행적인 성격의 작업 무엇이 무엇으로 를 제작해오고 있다. 가루가 된 돌은 그림이 되고, 그림은 다시 돌, 자연을 지시한다. 화폭 속 모나거나 둥그스름한 다르게 보이는 두 개의 돌도 사라지거나 나타나며 두 대상 사이의 관계를 이야기한다. 나의 작업은 한국의 자연을 접하며 자랐던 어린 시절과 가정환경에서 기인한다. 나는 자연을 거시적이면서 미시적으로, 마치 돌처럼, 바라본다. 점차적으로 작업을 확장해나가고 있다.

Nature reflects its surroundings. My practice poses questions about the relationship between objects using “re”presentation of nature through natural materials. Since 2013, I have been producing a process-based material project called Something to Something. Stones pulverized into powder become a part of a painting of the stone—so both the material and image are a part of nature. Two different-looking stones that are angular or round in the painting also disappear or appear, telling the relationship between the two objects. Such works are indebted to my growing up with nature in South Korea. It is also influenced by my family environment. My father is a medical doctor who cures people by using leaves, plant roots, and stones; my mother practices Zen meditation. In both practices, nature plays an important role. I see nature microscopically and macroscopically, like a stone. Recently, I have been focusing on the meaning of space. I have collected materials since 2017 near the demilitarized zones (DMZ) between North and South Korea. I am gradually expanding the boundaries of my work.
