Anachronism: Paralogy of Speed


In general, there is a motivation to work,however, as for me, how the work progress generates the motivation. In other words, the causes follow their effects. Even in relation to the law of cause and effect, time does not always flow in one direction. The effects give birth to their causes, creating different paralogy of speed.

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.
