It can be a mountain, a rock, or in some ways, even the sea; or perhaps it feels as if the tangled world within my mind has simply been etched onto the canvas...
I could probably tell my story by focusing on natural phenomena, but that doesn’t really resonate with me.
Perhaps I wanted to write a diary written with the body, capturing the tactile sensation felt at the fingertips on the canvas. Or maybe I just wanted to ramble on and on listing the story of how I live.
Something still feels empty, and there is much regret that cannot be sealed off.
It seems I’ll have to wait a long while longer to find out what it is.From the artist’s note, July 21, 2007
山でもあり岩でもあり、見方によっては海のようでもあり、あるいはただ心の中の乱れた世界を画面に刻んだようでもあり···
自然現象にピントを合わせて自分の話をしたはずなのに、実際にはなかなか響かない。
指先で感じる触感を画面に収めながら、体で書く日記を書きたかったのかもしれない。 あるいは、私の生きるストーリーを、ただ並べたかったのかもしれない。
まだ何か物足りなさがあり、蓋を閉められないもどかしさが多い。
それが何かは、もう少し時間を置いてみる必要があるようだ。2007年7月21日 作家ノートより
산이기도 하고 바위이기도 하고 어찌 보면 바다 같기도 하고 아니면 그냥 마음속의 헝클어진 세계를 화면에 새긴 것 같기도 하고...
자연적인 현상에 핀트를 맞추면서 내 이야기를 했을 법한데 그게 사실 잘 안 와닿는다.
손끝에서 느껴지는 촉감을 화면에 담으면서 몸으로 쓰는 일기를 쓰고 싶었는지도 모르겠다. 아니면 나의 살아가는 스토리를 주저리주저리 나열하고 싶었는지도 모르겠다.
아직은 뭔가 허전한 것이 마개를 막을 수 없는 아쉬움이 많다.
그것이 뭔지 한참을 더 지나 봐야 할 것 같다.2007.07.21 작가노트 중
