  Artist’s Statement
   
I like creating kettles, vases, and other types of vessels by raising technique. Raising is a unique metalwork technique that utilizes metal's ductile and malleable properties to shape a two-dimensional sheet into a three-dimensional object.

Working with sheet metal is something that requires extensive experience and patience. It took repeated practices to achieve expertise and demanded trial and error. That's why I'm working & studying in Silver in motion.

 
Artists use forms to create forms and from it create yet another new and organized organic-like form. As such, forms are important to artists as both materials and results. In addition, forms are like a language artists use to communicate with other artists and the audience.

I focused on dynamic attributes of form and explored the relationship between form and the forces surrounding it. Form is like a mediator between opposing forces. Form is positioned at the boundaries of conflicting forces and is pushed to the more powerful side when this balance is broken. Force also acts on static objects and maintains the fixed external form amidst that state of equilibrium. When force is applied on this static object, that form changes again into a new shape.
