Thingness of Things:  I want to define object’s ‘an aimless object’, essence of object based on philosophical, theoretical investigation  and Korean traditional culture and religious rituals in terms of the notion of dematerialisation, which I saw as indefinite, unstable, without purpose. So we can understand an object’s true ‘thinglessness’- that is, by a holistic conception of things as opposed to an annihilation of them based on their functional relationship to us.  Thing from the Void:  I dwell on the constitution of objects, or more explicitly ‘things’, as arising from the body’s interaction with the space. I emphasis that a more explicit analysis of sight, sound, touch and space needs to depart from the body per se and the thingness of things, to see how the senses interact in our everyday, embodied experience of space.

 

Through research process, my work has been developed by the spatial interaction between physical and psychological space by transforming the Korean symbolic meaning of thing such as metaphysical polarities: yin/yang and sensorial aspect of thing such as aura of (non)sound music, especially percussion: sound of wooden gong, bell, Buddhist invocation and the way of the Buddhist temperate life into my enigmatic sculptural forms. My artworks embody their meaningful pure function and the body’s physical and psychological interaction and they will give rise to the viewers’ emotional response. 

 

This designs was in the Visual Arts project in 2006 at Curtin Universit of Technoloy in Perth. Research was experimented into the body’s interaction with spatial tactility through the philosophical and theoretical investigation combined with Korean transitional culture and rituals.
