Heed nature
- • Hyejung Sin finds expression of nature in sound
- • She finds nobility in the things that are not flashy
- • She uses silver as blank canvas with limitless potential
Hyejung Sin finds balance in working on her art whilst taking care of her family. She feels the warmth of objects silently placed in her surroundings. Her husband is also a sculptor and so in this artistic atmosphere in the family home, her daily life influences and inspires her work. She chose silver as the main material for most of her work as they portray cycles of growth and extinction in patterns and images. Time put into works of silver is like space in a blank paper, which is more valuable than ornaments. She expresses the simplicity of nature by removing superfluous elements.
