When I was seven years old, we moved from Seoul to New York, and like all immigrant children, I started living the intersection of two cultures. My creations respond to that in-between cultural space in which layers of language, not only spoken, intersect; blending and renewing expression; just as clay is extracted from its ground and transformed, it doesn’t lose its earthy extraction.

In Full Moon Ceramics I try to channel the principle of beauty in everyday life inspired by my Asian background and the visual richness of ancient global and modern cultures. Drawn to the contrast of textures, concentric simple lines and the beauty of imperfections, my work seeks to blur the boundary between functionality and art. Accidents can result in objects that meld the medium´s nature with design purpose; building clay at times seems to have a mind of its own and the fury of the fire can yield unexpected results.
