Artist Statement
I am a fiber artist based in Gwangju, South Korea. I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree and specialize in Crafts. Since 1999, I have explored textiles' artistic possibilities through various techniques and materials.
My work explores time, memory, and human relationships. I cut, layer, and reshape fabric, building forms through repeated stitching. This process lets me express traces of life, memory, and the passage of time.
Through symbolic objects such as trees and teacups, I explore the relationship between presence and absence, emptiness and fullness. The delicate layers of fibers and stitches reflect what disappears, what remains, and how memories continue through change.
I currently run NAYESOM Studio in Gwangju, where I continue my artistic practice and teach textile art, quilting, and embroidery.
