❺ Selected Projects
Process-based works grounded in risograph, screenprint, etching, lithograph, and letterpress. Printmaking here becomes more than reproduction—it’s a method of storytelling, of building physical traces and temporal layers, often informed by nostalgia, language, and texture.
Erosion
About the Project
A mountainous Korean landscape erodes into river and memory.
Erosion is a copperplate etching created through an intensive layering of aquatint and hard ground, gradually building and dissolving the image over time. Originally based on a mountainous Korean landscape, the piece began with etched contours of ridgelines and river paths. But as the process unfolded—layer after layer of acid, mark-making, and plate exposure—the mountains seemed to erode into water.
Brushstrokes of hard ground drifted into currents. Valleys blurred into waves. What began as solid terrain transformed into fluid motion, as if the landscape itself was being worn away by memory.
The image reflects that metamorphosis: the static becomes kinetic, form becomes feeling. Just as copper yields under acid, the scene dissolves into something less fixed—part topography, part emotion, part tide. Erosion blurs the line between landscape and sensation, holding a quiet tension between permanence and impermanence, control and surrender.
