새뮤얼 정은 한국 재미교포 도예가 2세로 미술대학 교수이다. 자신의 생생한 상상력 속에 과거와 현재를 병치시키면서 한국의 전통 구름 문양과 도자기 형태를 참조하여 작품을 만든다. 끊임없이 밀려오는 구름은 미국의 문화 속에 속하는지 아니면 밖에 속하는지에 대한 자신의 질문에 반응하는 현상을 대변한다.

Sam Chung is a second-generation Korean-American ceramic artist and professor of art. In his current work, he references traditional Korean cloud motifs and pottery shapes while juxtaposing the past with the present through his vivid imagery. The clouds represent a phenomenon that is constantly in flux and corresponds to his own questions of belonging within or outside the culture.
