8th RISD Korea Alumni Exhibit ::: Salon Fantastic

Participants were asked to submit smaller works to promote sale. I was happy to submit my ink drawings for Chase Academy in the Summer months of 2012. They were 4 ink drawings for the Hans Christian Andersen story, "The Snow Queen." I enjoyed the process :-)

My First Art & Design Fair



Seoul Arts Center
My first art and design fair~!

My curator told me that the top and bottom ones were more popular than the other two. Unfortunately, my beagle was very sick at the time, so I didn't have time to create new works.

RISD Korea Annual Show 2009

















My Suggestion for "Art as Conversation: What do YOU see?"


At Gallery JK Space in Itaewon, Seoul, Korea
October 2009


For this project, my curator helped me choose 2 of my works that could best accomplish my goal of asking my viewers to share what they SAW in my works. I hung up 2 cork boards for my audiences to share what they *each* saw in my paintings. The same two paintings were shared online --- on Cyworld and Facebook.

The comments I got from both the offline and online viewers me were totally amazing! The comments were wonderfully varied and full of imagination. Oftentimes, they revealed what each of their personalities *tend to* think more about. :-)

(I'll try and update this post with some of their comments at some later date...)



Art as Conversation: What Do YOU See?



Ever since I learned a little bit about Post-Modernism in paintings, I began to wonder about the functions and roles that art could or should take.

After some pondering, all I could come up with *honesty* was that art could help people talk about their differences without having to contradict one another.


Well, so here's my question -
What do YOU see in each of the paintings here?

Share, share! It is your interaction that makes my paintings come alive :-)

Exhibit at Gallery Godo
















OK. It was a bit of a cheat-cheat; it was an open door exhibition meaning the gallery didn't base the selection on fame, content, nor commerciality.

But nonetheless, it was my first exhibit - other than school ones. I'm glad that my Dad insisted we take a photo; I felt really embarrassed to take a photo with the gallery owner and his staff standing around.

This was January this year. It's September now. And I've been busy with grad school most of the past 6 months. Time to get moving again...

Hormonal Changes












That year in 2002, my body was covered with red spots;
Fever took over my body -
And the cells that were supposed to
Protect my body started attacking it instead.

I Remember You



If I could forget -
I would really try .

It's sometimes too bad -
That I remember you too well .

I Remember



Some places I grew up in -
Had terrible terrible things .

There were nightmares -
Of buildings collapsing .

And all the faces -
That got erased .



If only I could forget -
I would forget them both .

Weather Report


















When I was young -
My skies were red, blue, and orange -

My father used to tell me -
Aren't we lucky to be born in Korea?

We have all four seasons!
