About the Artist

My mixed-media drawings, paintings, and site-specific installations explore psychological humor, human sexuality, and the overt and subtle relationships that haunt the space between beauty and violence. My Korean background has translated to an acute awareness of negative space and precedence placed upon the immediate, spontaneity of mark making. Marked areas are developed from touches produced in a brief moment and are judged based on the gesture's emotive quality that they stands in memory of. Final works are built up, painted, drawn, pasted and re-shaped from a large repository of smaller explorations. Like a child views the world, my work segregates and playfully mutates the realties present. Beauty and violence, light and dark are left in an inconclusive, disharmonious impasse.
