점토 작업은 나를 사유하게 만든다. 점토 자체가 나에게는 원초적인 영감이 된다. 점토를 재료로 하여 작품을 만드는 과정에서 재료와 소통하면서 새롭고 창의적이며 흥미있는 아이디어를 얻는다. 나는 3차원적인 형태를 반복해서 얻는 유니트의 집단, 그리고 이 집단이 만들어내는 여백의 미에 매료된다.

Working with clay allows me to think. The clay itself is my primary inspiration. The process of actively making and interacting with the material creates new, original, and exciting ideas. I am fascinated by multiples and the negative spaces created by the repetition of three-dimensional forms.
