Artist Statement, Desiree Engel

Exuberant shapes and colors in nature, whether in the world of plants or animals, earth, water or sky, have formed the basis of my work for several years. I am interested in discovering what is on the surface, above and below it, and delight in using those shapes to express my own ideas. Some of the forms are intended to elicit a sense of recognition in the viewer, although none are accurate representations of anything real, but are my own inventions.

I have worked in several different media, always exploring the many possibilities of expressing my ideas in whichever medium I am working at that time. In working with clay there is an element of danger from the extreme temperature required for firing, as well as surprise when the piece is removed from the kiln. Exploring different techniques and inventing new ways of using the material are exciting challenges for me.

Artist Statement, Won Sil Kim

My medium is sculpture. When I started to sculpt first time, I made a clod out of clay that looked like a face. Now I do not use clay anymore but make three-dimensional objects out of different kinds of material.

Especially, for these works, I used fabrics because fabric carries many things such as colors, patterns and warmth. For the forms, I did not put any meanings. The forms do not carry special meanings, but any object has its size, volume, and a look.

Based on my idea, I make objects that have size, volume, looks, colors, and feelings, and I put the objects in spaces. I watch these forms and think that they have their own expressions and impressions. As I watch them in their spaces, I feel the air that is surrounding the objects is floating. Even though the objects are no longer in those spaces, I still feel like I see the objects and the air is floating.

Artist Statement, Chong Hahn

My painting is relating to nature because nature has dramatized my freshness, excitement, and passion for painting. The surface of my painting is rough. The deposits of color often reveal underpainting and reflect revisions created out of those revisions.
