In the artist's own words; "Each stone that is gathered and placed locates a specific time and place. That is both of the past and of the present moment." "The rocks represent the rhythms of time formed by nature's forces and the internal rhythms of Loss & Gain experienced through the expanse of time."
"Time that is lost is regained through the process of gathering the rocks. By gathering the rocks from the glacial mountains to the pebbles on the shore, I am harvesting visible and tangible increments of time and temporarily disturbing the environment of time in the gallery." "Responding to the prevalence of the grid and the patina of time in the materials at Suyama Space, I wanted to create a fluid grid that flows within the space." "The weight of the rocks diminishes with the air and light of the Space."JYUNG MEE PARK
