ART WORKS
MOTION SERIES 1
12345

One prototype was made from a plaster mold that can be mass-produced. The plaster mold that was produced to move up and down freely in the process of casting can be used as a cast to create different types of vessels. This producing method stands for a formative language in which a technique of plaster casting can not only be mass-produced, but also be used to create quality and unique products.

 

하나의 원형으로 대량생산이 가능한 석고 몰드를 만들었다. 그 석고 몰드는 주입 성형과정에서 상하로 자유롭게 움직일 수 있게 제작되어, 하나의 틀로 항상 다른 형태의 기(器)를 만들 수 있다. 이러한 제작방법은 대량생산에 적합한 석고 몰드 기법으로 일품생산도 가능하게 하며, 항상 새로운 작업을 만들 수 있다는 기대감을 준다.

CIRCUS

The Pot lid of the sliding type was adopted, which no one has ever tried. Users don’t need to worry about dropping the lid when pouring water. Half of the cylinder, consisting of the lid, which is coated with silk screen looks different as the colored area varies depending on where the Pot is located.

ROTATION TILE 2
1234567

Tiles are hardly replaceable once layed. Therefore, the tiles in my work were designed to enable users themselves to change images according to one’s personal taste after layed. The balls attached to the tiles can be rotated and viewed differently depending on the rotated degree of the balls. The tiles in ROTATION TILE 2 can show freer pattern designs than those in ROTATION TILE  which can be rotated left and right.
