Artist Note

Beyond Circuit

Leather, paint, sand, tea dye mixed media, Chun Sei Ryun

                    

For my artwork, I worked with a mixture of leather, paint, sand, shells and green tea.

Similar to when I worked on the ChoSun Women Series where I used the style of photo-etching on leather, I felt that the maternal love from the women was as soft as the buttery leather, where the unique personalities and perspectives of these women were shown.

The circle has no end and no beginning.  The circle in essence keeps rotating endlessly and is eternal. Back in the day paper was only used as a canvas, ever since the beginning of human history up until the digital era of today.  However, nowadays leather is used as well as paper as canvases.

Countless dots represent time and tangled lines like a ball of thread complete a surface.

The heart of the microcosm within our body, which cannot even be touched or seen, was painted with abstract colors.

 Those billions of stars in the great universe were expressed by the installation on the wall as if we were able travel between them by a space shuttle.
