Meticulous, original, and unsettling : Jongjin Park's work immerses us in a fascinating meditative exploration. Wrapped in a mass of tissue paper that evokes either a mille-feuille or bundles of banknotes, the clay gets transformed during firing while the paper disappears forever. When observing one of his sculptures, it is almost impossible to believe that its construction support has completely vanished, so adept is the ceramic at preserving its texture and delicacy. With a distinctly Korean palette of pastel tones, Jongjin Park's ceramics imbue a unique poetry into a material that is otherwise eminently ordinary.
