Ghost Stories
October 3 - November 2, 2019
Opening Reception:
Thursday, October 3rd, 6 - 8pm
The notion of “ghost” in the exhibition title refers to some entity that has been lost or transformed. These entities range from cultural origins, family members, and even one’s sense of identity. Since my father’s passing two years ago, I have been more reflective on family history, cultural identity and existential questions. As in most people’s lives, these ghosts have a stronger presence the older I get.
While my approach to the work exhibits a variety of interpretations, I still use the vessel as the common denominator that references “self” and a point of origin. As a second-generation Korean-American, I have had longstanding questions about the notion of “belonging” in relation to cultural identity. The representation of traditional Korean pottery forms serve as a historical and cultural foundation, the ghosts from which the different stories are told.
