The artist creates land art or earth works using natural materials like rubber plates found at a coal factory. Their work aims to capture sculptural forms in nature using a camera instead of a brush. They pursue an oriental painting style using black and white photography on paper to express abstract forms in landscapes, seeking harmony. The flexibility of black rubber allows it to change shape and assimilate with its surroundings, conveying expression.

3. About my work
My artwork can be regarded close to Land Art or Earth Work since it is made of natural
objects in a natural space. The term 'Earth Work' is also called 'Land Art' because it takes
place on land of which its materials are natural objects themselves with forms of earth,
wood, and water, etc. My work are about a conjunction of nature and artificiality; in other
words, it captures moments of sculptural form using rubber plates, which is made of syn-
thetic substance, with a camera as tool on the natural space of land.
I pursue an Oriental painting-like work. work on a photographic paper (which sub-
stitutes for a canvas) using the camera instead of brush, and by employing black and white
color instead of 'muk' (Korean traditional black ink), I attempt to express an object with
abstract forms like one huge handwriting in real, natural landscape/background, and seeking
for a harmony and meaning in it.
First, I brought out the sculptural works and placed them in an appropriate place. I
used to work with full range of colors, but then, in the process of capturing the one-day
exhibit (or, installation ephemere) in photographs, my concern was diverted from the color
to the depth of black-and-white after I began to use discarded rubbers that were found at a
coal factory.
Then placed a rubber plate, which varies with its surroundings organically, in appropriate
places and took the pictures of it. I felt deep attachment to this rubber plate which was
dumped and collected at a coal factory. I began to work with it by chance, and after that,
it led my interest into the monochrome work rather than the colored that I used to work
on before. The rubber plate that has lost its use was recognized as a property of matter-
black colored, a variability changing its form according to the surroundings. Indeed, it gave a
strong impression that I could imagine myself drawing one big stroke in the nature.
Situated in a place that reminds us of an Oriental ink-and-wash painting, the flexibil-
ity of the substance of black rubber (changing its form according to where it is placed, and
assimilating itself into other materials such as water despite it does not reflect its surround-
ings) conveys a great expressional charm itself.
