EXPOSURE
Kyunghee Shin, white porcelain and the gesture of incense
An exhibition dedicated to Kyunghee Shin, showcasing the work of this talented contemporary Korean ceramist. From her studio in Suwon, South Korea, she creates white porcelain pieces renowned for their delicate forms, intricate sculptures, and profound elegance.
A selection of incense burners, with flowers and insects directly sculpted into the still-pliable material, revealing a sensitive approach to porcelain, through objects designed to accompany daily rituals with gentleness and refinement.
Know-how
In Kyunghee's studio
Meeting Kyunghee is not about starting with a discussion of materials, techniques, firing, or inspiration. It's about first taking the time to get to know each other over a cup of tea. And this attention to gestures, to the way the objects she has created slowly come to life, with awareness of the moment and generosity of sharing, probably explains better than any factual description what drives Kyunghee's work.
WRAPPING
Precious objects are wrapped in textiles tied using the Korean art of pojagi.
