Jin sun Kim (02072024) MFA Ceramic Prof. Urrutia, Leandra Art Statement I have realized that the relationship between urban cities as a space and humans is integrated or controversial toward conceptual relationships of human beings and nature, objects and subjects, voids and solids, and usage and preservation. These fundamental relationships utilize attention to the stipulation of its external material as its own physical vision and its internal material as its own emotional element, constructing a plethora of perspectives for the human eye and mind to comprehend. This is what I consider the fundamental essence of this artwork. Since human existence, the development of cities has been evolving. That means that cities have been planning, developing, and extending. Yet, despite the creation of mechanical systems and massive spaces for human convenience, humans faced the innate negations of complicated urban landscapes. Although the urban city might be perceived as a space to amplify our urban life’s quality and quantity, I seek to find out where humans stand among the urban cities as a space and how humans feel about their life within the spaces.    I would like to challenge to expend the previous ideas. Conceptual idea will be keeping going on. In addition, I would like to use the more organic and natural style of forms, shapes, and color. In particular, researching to connect the relationship between inside and outside of space conceptually and visually are keeping going on.  I also will pursuit add conceptual meaning to express my body of artwork. What is meaning of spaces to the human being? Inside and outside of spaces are made by line, shape, and forms. I sometimes define where inside of outside of spaces are, but I experience it could be changed where inside or outside of spaces are by someone’s eyes, someone’s location, someone’s memories or experiences. ‘House and Universe’ and ‘Where does your water come from?’  of Mary Mattingly and Architecture, Mario Cucinella’s natural form of building influenced me to access conceptual idea and building up ideas.
