A.K.A Turtleneck in progress : (Fear of creativity)

I was working on this piece last week. It's not done yet. It could be a pendant. But deciding which string I am going to use is the hardest decision for me.
I have an idea about the color of the string.  but I haven't found what kinds of materials to use it. I think I need to go shopping for some materials. : )

These days, I have been revisiting my previous materials like velcro and snaps. I am still finding beautiful and interesting things from revisiting these materials and exploring other forms.

When I am not working on my art work, sometimes I have a fear of loosing my creativity. I have a fear of creating new things. This was especially so right after I had graduated from grad school.  Since I was immediately sucked into trying to figure out what I had to do to make a living,  I didn't have any time to work on my studio work. At that time, the feeling was very weird.

However, I started up my online business and I figured out how to balance my business and my art work. So these days, I make time for myself to work on my art work again. I realized as long as I am working on something or making something, fresh and new ideas always come to me, and so the fear is now gone. That moment was very pure and I was happy. From this experience, I got to know myself better. I have to keep working without worrying. : )

Neckpiece 2010

Before I made the A.K.A Egyptian Neckpiece, I was working on this piece. I can't wait to take shots on the body! It could be a short neckpiece like a choker. I always like to observe my surroundings. My observation is a key to form my piece.

Cero Neckpiece 2010

I was working on this neckpiece.  It's always interesting to look at systems of organization in my surrounding.
Cero in Korean, means "vertical".

Exploration- Scale

After my thesis work, I have been thinking about reconsidering the scale in my work. I am curious about what the difference is when my small piece is transformed into an extremity on our body. Does the scale matter? I would like to explore the different experience.

I am also fascinated by the sparkling when the piece has a light. I guess it could be a large sculpture.





































Right now in terms of the size, it looks like a bowl in the kitchen. It's growing now.. I am not sure when I will stop. But I am sure that I will continue to work with this piece.

Egyptian neckpiece

My new neckpiece is done. Since the units are so small, I tried to sew together some elements to secure and create the concrete form. The piece looks like an Egyptian neckpiece. But I would like to wear this piece in a dynamic way. I will twist it when I wear.
