Artist Statement_2022
I am a Digital Artist passionate about designing and creating Mixed-Reality Experiences using experimental
animation processes and either Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality. Also, I am interested in working on mixed
reality installation arts combinations with interactive video art.
I have been working on experimental animation installations for the past eight years, a structure that combines
digital art, ceramics, and sculptural objects.
I have been researching and creating artistic and inspiring digital installation works combining mixed Reality,
projection mapping, and 3D environment modeling.
I want to keep on expanding my knowledge and skill sets to work on designing artistic experiences in mixed Reality.
I am also interested in working with e-textile, soft sculptures, holograms, 3D printing, and Kinetic arts.
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, with a Master of Entertainment Technology, in May 2020. I earned an
MFA in Digital Art and an MFA in Printmaking from Indiana University Bloomington. In addition, I received a BFA
from Hongik University, majoring in printmaking in Seoul.
My educational training has provided me with broad artistic knowledge, including Mixed reality world design, Game
design, 3d Modeling, Digital art, Video art, Time based Media, Digital installations, Book art, Ceramics, and
Printmaking. I have practiced art for 30 years in mixed media, such as Painting, Printmaking, Artist Bookmaking,
Digital Art, and Mixed reality experience design process.
I am a lifelong learner, and I'm trying to continue intensive research on new media.
My further research aims to explore new media more closely and combine them with cutting-edge technologies
related to experimental media to achieve projects that allow viewers and users to have a uniquely inspiring and
aesthetic experience.
I worked as an art director and visual designer for BloomingSongs. "Bloomingsongs" is a non-profit organization
that provides musical education for the youth. They focus on introducing music from different worlds to the public,
especially children, who are always welcome to learn new things. Link: BloomingSongs.
I participated in the Amity Trio Commission Project as a visual artist with members of the Bloomingsongs
organization. I worked on creating visual images and animations for a music project in which Amity Trio
collaborates with children. Link: Illuminating Apologues.
I seek to engage in collaborative work in which my artistic skills and experience inspire the community.
I have worked as a technical artist and website developer at Calman_ Incorporated since June 2021. I build virtual
galleries that contain interactions, animations, and sound design. Link: Virtual Galleries
I depict the moments when of finding old memories that my five senses (visual, smell, taste, touch, and hearing) triggered me to remember in my daily life. I describe the moments through my work when my childhood memories, for example, the sound of my neighbor's baby, the winding road of my neighborhood, the first dress my mother made me, and the excitement of running wearing the dress around the neighborhood overlap and expand to my current life.
I record the process of reconstructing old memories with new memories. Next, I describe when old memories transform into new emotions recalling feelings. I create imaginary spaces where I rebuild new feelings that I have not felt until now with my recalled memories of nostalgia for my past. I like to depict the feelings of combining old memories with founded new memories that have come to my life in the new space through various mediums.
My work can be a ticket to ride a new journey to spaces I have never been to but have long been for.
