Seungwon Jung

 Seungwon Jung is interested in how people perceive time in the context of space. Her practice traverse installation, sculpture and photography, including sculptural fabric works and photographs transformed into wide range of textiles. Weaving and printing fragmented photographic images onto fabric, she uses this as a surface upon which to work into, apply onto and remove from. Jung invites craftsmanship of weaving into a lens-based method where the surface of the images is completely restructured. Through this process, she alters the time of photography and extend it beyond the frozen moment. She is also interested in the intersections at which coding and digital language meets craft and more traditional processes. Her works originate from personal time and memory and have gradually evolved and expanded into the spatial and temporal dimensions of the Earth and nature. She observes and captures the similarities within seemingly distinct materials and manifests ‘the intangible’ that may not be outwardly visible but clearly occupies a part of the space, both physically and conceptually.
