Paper Casting Works
Motif & Process
For me, there is nothing new about my work. Yet, neither do I have
any notion about the old. The newness, as far as my work is concerned,
has nothing to do with the time that is flowing only in one direction.
Nothing can be expected of my work that relates to such a linear
flow of time. My work, invariably, is something that is simultaneous
or something that flows backward, which can be said to be anachronistic.
The motif I worked on in my 20s, for example, reappears from time
to time in my 40s. It is as if the water flows and permeates through
the soil, and again comes out nowhere and spreads out. And then,
what interests me disappears even before I notice it, as if waking
from a dream. Just like wandering around the multilayered, horizontal
flow of time. This is why my work can not premeditated, and not
composed of what is clear alone.
Clearness seems attractive to me, and then, it becomes ambiguous
and this ambiguity makes me confused, overwhelming all the planning
and anticipations I had until then. Sometimes, ambiguity follows
behind me and some other times, it goes ahead of me. Therefore,
clearness and ambiguity do not conflict with each other, but, on
the contrary, interact with each other, ultimately leading to a
creation of metamorphosis just like the clouds. This makes it difficult
to talk about maturity of my work in terms of time.
I even go so far as to try to delay the conclusion indefinitely
through distortion and repetition that deviate from the shortest
distance between beginning and ending (efficiency of cause and effect).
As if being half awake and half sleep--my life probably affects
my dream, yet, my dream also seems to affect my life. Life will
go on withthoughts inside, but also, thoughts have life inside.
Foot Work Process
This is not life-casting. It is because, life-casting can produce
work, which is diminished in size and too plain, making it look
ugly or not real. Life-casting can be ineffective in making things
look natural. Naturally occurring objects can possibly look less
natural than the work that went through sculptural treatment. |

Looking natural lies
in letting things be the way they are, but at the same time,
¡®looking¡¯ natural should be intended to do so. In other words,
randomness does not mean to leave something unattended or
to deal with it carelessly, but there should be something
intended about randomness. Therefore, where people perceive
and live, nature will no longer exist in itself, but it will
be found only where I try look for.
For me, the same is true for the vanity of temporality, and
transience of time.
Even though everything is temporal, the concept can produce
motif of experience depending on what situation and where
it is perceived and how it is expressed. Being natural and
being artificial, or nature and culture, this paradoxical
logic of evolution, and seeing them as concepts in armony
not in confrontation with each other, this is what the law
of life is all about.
