3Any substances that light penetrates make both eyes and mind
clear. Being able to see beyond the surface provides sense of
freedom in a visual and spiritual aspect. As a transparent
material, glass symbolizes overcoming physical obstacles and
commu-
nication between the front and the back. Many materials existing
in real world block out a face beyond the surface from visible
one.
It is why we feel frustrating no matter how beautiful the
surface of substances is. Among various materials, however,
substances
like crystal and glass have its own existence and show an aspect
beyond because the substance itself is transparent.
Kim Ji-won applies issue of communication between in and out for
the work using transparent wine glasses. With transpar-
ency being a medium, she adds new forms of formative
interpretation and draws fantastic images beyond an ordinary sight.
In
other words, she suggests principles of communication for the
unified world staring at formative beauty that wine glasses have
as
a transparent material. She devises a formative world where the
form is equivalent to its content.
Her glass work is like kind of a magic. Odd transformation of
shapes like virtual reality can be called a magic combining
imagi-
nation, physical properties and heat. Commercialized wine
glasses show physical properties of glasses which is expressed by
its
melting process with heat. She assumes a situation where
original form becomes distorted and transformed one with
formative
principles by heating wine glasses, a beautifully made finished
product.
A wine glass has great beauty in shape. Above all, it has
elegant curves and shape reminding a womans body so it is enough
to
lead an erotic imagination. A function of a wine glass is in
harmony with a sense of beauty to lead a sweet imagination. She
also
tries to find another form of beauty to be entailed by breaking
external one of a wine glass. So to speak, she aims at the beauty
of
contorted pearls from which people can enjoy visual pleasure,
for example. This can be an explanation for why she chooses
wine
glasses for her subject matter.
She brings characteristics of transparent materials into relief
with a series of glass work using wine glasses and enjoys
accompany-
ing formative variations. Wine glasses come to have contorted
shapes by several glasses getting partly melted and
unexpectedly
adhered to each other when they are heated in an electronic
oven. These shapes, of course, are results of fully expected
conditions
considering physical properties of glass and the point of
fusion.
For example, the work which shows a similar shape with melted
wax by melted wine glasses is based on a complete scenario.
It progresses in a method that puts wine glasses on edges of
firebricks and heats them and similar form expected based on
the
scenario can be gained. That is, the artist can make an image
reminding Dalis The Persistence of Memory which has several
clocks flowing down. Produced images depend on the combination,
arrangement and composition of glasses. This can be done
by complete control over the process.
Solid wine glasses change to mollusks-like ones through
aforementioned processes. Because each part of wine glasses such
as
bowl, handle and support has different point of fusion, they
make fantastic shapes. The curves made when the glasses curvy
part, an outline of the bowl, the handle and supporting part are
contorted are mysterious. It is because the contortedness makes
elegant, imagination stimulating shapes.
Various images in shapes and lines can be seen according to the
viewing angle. The number, direction and superimposition of
wine
glasses make various forms of lines. Diverse images of
transformed wine glasses which are characterized by curvy shapes
not only
provide visual pleasure but also enable limitless imagination.
Accidental and natural lines, shapes and curves produced when it
is
impossible to gain standardized images are fantastic. She
further aims at the visual beauty made by wine glasses
transparency
by introducing lights. Lines and curves become more vivid and
beautiful with lights by setting up electroluminescence in an
acrylic
panel and putting contorted glasses on it. The lighting fixture
which creates mystique is effective to emphasize a decorative
aspect
as well as visual pleasure. An artwork which has a light
continuously changing its color has a stronger mystique.
Appreciators can
experience a kind of catharsis with these artworks.
