I WAS BLUE, NOW Iโ€™M YELLOW


Sunwoo Jung has explored the characteristics of mediums that bring the reality of creation to life. The exhibition <I Was Blue, Now Iโ€™m Yellow>, representing the artistโ€™s current state, is designed for those who have embarked on a journey to seek their desires.


The series of 50 goblets showcased in this exhibition can be seen as three-dimensional paintings, humorously portraying variations of form and color that stem from her personal research. The miniature chair series, which gained recognition in Amsterdam, began with the challenge of creating images using only the fundamental requirements necessary to define a chair. Her humorous solutions were not only evident in the resulting images but also in the process and presentation. Similarly, the goblet series follows a comparable methodology. The artist discovers models that straddle the boundary between form and function, and then presents them in 50 different structures and colors, blurring the lines between the two like a playful game.


Form - Everyday objects accumulated


Drawing is the artist's reason for being and a way she responds to her need to live. The journal drawings mainly feature everyday objects such as chairs, furniture, and lamps. The artist undergoes two processes: transferring the forms that traverse her mind onto paper and then translating them into three-dimensional space in clay. Rather than a rational and systematic mechanism, this can be seen as an emotional and spontaneous act of capturing her current emotions.


Color - Applying picturesque glaze to a solid form


Unregulated serendipity serves as a significant driving force for the artist, a sensation she never experienced in painting. Unlike mixing paint, which offers immediate feedback on color, acquiring the desired color with glaze demands considerable time and effort. Her glaze research project, initiated in 2018 in the Netherlands, continues to this day. This endeavor involves understanding the changes in color and texture resulting from chemical reactions involving mineral powders. Just as mixing paint achieves desired hues, the artist experiments with combinations of glazes to achieve specific colors and textures. The outcomes are showcased through 'swatch' chips fashioned from fabric pattern scraps. The color swatches that adorn her atelier wall serve as both her palette and the product of her research. Typically, the firing process involves a single round of bisque firing and glaze firing. However, Sunwoo repeats glaze firing up to five times, akin to the layering process in paintings. Using glaze to express color on a solid clay canvas is analogous to painting.


Amsterdam - A realm where optimistic imagination thrives


After leaving a job where she was fatigued by endless computer work, Sunwoo stumbled upon carpentry. However, she soon realized that her envisioned creations couldn't be immediately realized in this medium. This realization led her to ceramics, where the process of translating her sketches into reality affirmed clay as her most suitable medium. Her journey from Korea to Amsterdam was prompted by her admiration for Dutch designer "Bertjan Pot" and her curiosity about Dutch education and design styles. Though her major was ceramics, she's not just focused on technical skills; she's striving to create modern and witty ceramic designs that expand the boundaries of traditional ceramics.

Q: How does working in Amsterdam inspire you?

A:
Many cities in the Netherlands, including Amsterdam, house a disproportionately high number of artists and designers relative to their land size and population. While it's not a universal rule, I've noticed that the creative community here often prioritizes 'new discoveries' achieved through numerous trials and errors, rather than aiming for 'perfect achievement' through meticulously planned endeavors. This perspective naturally resonates with viewers. Living and working in Amsterdam has greatly influenced my approach to my work. It feels like a place where I can be more liberated and express my true colors without fear of judgment, thanks to the prevailing perspective that doesn't place perfection as the ultimate goal and embraces a tolerant view of failure.


Q: I'm wondering about how to approach your work, which is intended for everyday use. Should it be treated as an ornamet or used practically? Do you have a message for those who own your work?

A:
It's a bit challenging to categorize my creations as purely functional and convenient, as they stem from a process closer to expressionist painting. Nevertheless, I always consider the concept of functionality because functional objects are an integral part of our daily lives, engaging with our senses and bodies. I sense a certain coldness in mass-produced, perfectly functional items from factories, while my handmade, imperfect pieces exude a unique charm. They inhabit the realm between usability and display, defying easy classification. Despite their imperfections, I hope they can find a place in the most intimate corners of our daily lives, much like living beings with their distinct identities, imparting a touch of warmth alongside their modest functionality.


Q: Are there any upcoming news or research projects that people interested in your work can look forward to?

A:
As I am currently based in the Netherlands, I donโ€˜t have many opportunities to showcase my work in Korea. However, Iโ€™m excited to share that Iโ€˜m preparing to exhibit my entire collection of miniature chairs, totaling about 70 pieces, for the first time next February at the Prinsenhof Museum in Delft, a charming city in the Netherlands. Additionally, I have plans to create several life-sized chairs, which will be enlarged versions of my miniature chair designs, crafted from ceramics. Furthermore, our research efforts will persist in exploring alternative methods for mass-producing functional interior objects, including clockwork, lighting, mirrors, picture frames, and tiles.


Q: This is your first solo exhibition in Korea. What are your first impressions of exhibiting here?

A:
In preparation for this exhibition, I took a proactive approach in championing the concept of 'cuteness,' which is sometimes overlooked and dismissed as insignificant due to its lack of trendiness. While the nature of my work may vary slightly depending on the specific characteristics of the exhibition space, the memories of warmth and hospitality I experienced when I first opened the door to Pokettales a year ago have remained vivid. As I worked on my pieces, I continuously envisioned how the audience would react when encountering my work. I aimed to convey the small comfort and joy that can be found in Pokettales' atmosphere, demonstrating that even small, cute objects, often perceived as unremarkable, can have a significant impact on our emotions.
