Artist’s Statement
When I make my pots, I hope that in being useful, even if it's not that fancy or brilliant, it can still be beautiful to someone, and by 'use' the pot can be meaningful without being complex and overdone. I hope it can be seen that the imperfections of the pots add to their uniqueness and handmade originality.
Biography
Jooyun originates from Seoul, South Korea where she completed Bachelor of Fine Art in Ceramic Art, before making the brave and challenging decision to relocate to Australia to start a new life more than a decade ago.
Her upbringing and education in South Korea may contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of her work. When she decided to settle in Stanthorpe, a rural town in QLD, her inspiration and motivation were influenced by the particular landscape of this region - it’s trees and nature.
Jooyun has been a finalist in statewide competitions and has exhibited at galleries in Gosford NSW, Brunswick in VIC , including her first solo exhibition at Eltham in VIC, also Gladstone, Cooroy, Ipswich Toowoomba and Stanthorpe QLD.Influences
I am interested in patterns of nature and natural phenomena. It can be seen through the color of my work or a shape. My personal taste of writings bring some ideas too. Such as a quote, poetry or music I like, also from movies or documentaries too. I often put my pure feeling of the moments in my work. In my work, I walk into a place I have never been. I'm calm and quiet, I travel to my past and tomorrow, I'm free and relieved and feeling beautiful.
