My practice is grounded in an interest in how new forms of expression
emerge when materials are shifted into different contexts through
repetitive processes. |
|
|
|
My earlier engagement with hand weaving embodied this process. I was
particularly drawn to the structure by which a single thread, through
repetition, transitions into fabric—a surface operating on a different
dimensional level. |
|
|
Currently, rather than relying on established techniques, I design the
unit itself and take responsibility for its repetition. Through this
approach, I position material not as an expressive element, but as a
unit that begins to function within a structure.
My work does not aim to express emotions or inner states. Instead, I
explore the moment when “unit–repetition–structure” begins to give
rise to an object on its own terms. At the same time, I do not attempt
to eliminate the inherent variations of the material entirely; rather,
I examine how much difference can be permitted while still remaining
within a unit that can be structurally designed. |
|
|
|
Engaging with these questions through the framework of
“unit–repetition–structure” constitutes, for me, a process of
negotiation and collaboration with the material, as well as one of
governance and management. |
