Animation1999 ~ 2001
This project starts from the idea of 'a mechanical device as an interactive form.' Every object that we use in daily life has potential kinetic power, which can be converted to physical movement by means of a mechanism. I devised a face on the top of the vessel, which changes as the lid is pulled up.
As working on a series of these interactive vessels which were based on human characters, I become interested in the theatrical aspect of these objects, like a small stage on the table. They can be played with creating a scene. These animation objects are reactive and interactive to the users.



Self-Portraits2001 ~ 2002
This project is based on my formal study of face, in which I simplify face to lines. Composed directly from and on face, using steel wire with tension, these sculptures have kinetic potentialities due to the dynamics of the human face. As woking on this project, linear structure and relationship with body have become the most important elements in my works.
