Any good idea cannot be materialized when it is not expressed in a poor manner. When it comes to a paint-
        ing. ‘polishing the language’ is never a small thing. So, the artist adopts her own way in portraying a forest.
        It is not wrong to call her drawings ‘dot paintings’ finished with minute touches. As if she was counting
        stars in the sky, the artist fills spaces on the canvas with knife prints from its corners to its center. It is a
        very tiring job, but the knife printing is executed applying the rhythm and


        elasticity of her body, and so she says she can not recognize time is flying. Moreover, dyes are spread in
        a different direction, strength and size so as to ensure that her works should not result in a mechanical
        repetition. In such a way, numerous dots are diversely transformed. Sometimes, touches are overlapped,
        adjacent dots are interlinked, or a dot is painted over another. A dot painting is being completed through
        the interrelationship or dynamics of respondence and intimacy. A rhythm of moulding, which is attained
        as dots are connected, heaped up and entangled, is sweetly applied to the whole canvas.
                                                                                                                  48 내 마음의 노래 Acrylic on Canvas 53x33.4cm 2021

        To  the  artist,  what  does  the  action  of  imprinting  mean?  According  to  her  saying,  imprinting  is  like  a
        process of cultivating and purifying herself. The action of repeated imprinting, after all, may imply self-
        purification. While repeating the imprinting, she recalls her past, recollects her beautiful. memories, or
        calmly reflects herself. In this regard, she may bring shame to Pascal, who says that a man’s tragedy is
        caused when he cannot sit quietly in a back room even for a minute, since she feels a sense of stability
        and finds peace in mind as she is easily immersed in herself. Self-examination is a way of life and viewing
        the inner workings of oneself is most important thing. As is the same with the other aspects of one’s life,
        paying no attention to or taking no care of his inner world will lead to a diseased body and mind of his.
        Looking deep into the inner world will enhance the soul of contemporary men who cannot spare a minute
        to reflect themselves.


        Glaring at her works, we will probably a kind of shudder. Then, where is the shiver from? We are aware
        that we are the inheritor of eternity’ as we feel the warmth of sunlight shedding on a lake, feel the joy of
        life from a scene of a flower bud in full bloom, stand singly against a wind blowing from a forest, see tree
        leaves reflecting the sunlight, and/or fear a gentle sound of dried leaves blowing. The eternity detected
        from nature is handed down to us. Perhaps, the artist wants to communicate such experiences of hers to    42 내 마음의 노래 Acrylic on Canvas 53x45.5cm 2022
        us the appreciators of her works.
