“Whoa. Whoa! What album is that?”
The Zifty delivery guy pointed behind me.
Forty-five minutes earlier, I had ordered a chicken Parmesan sub through Zifty.com.
The Zifty people pick up your takeout order from restaurants that don’t deliver, and
bring it right to you. I was famished. It was one of those offensively cold nights just
before Atlanta was held hostage by snow and ice. My kitchen offered unattractive
options ranging from uncooked pasta to granola, and I was not about to brave the
weather. So when I opened the door to the nice Zifty man holding my sandwich
from Noni’s Italian Deli, I could have grabbed his face and smacked a juicy one right
on him. I tipped the man instead. Then things took a detour.

Artist Statement
My work follows an impulse to publicly frame my
nationality — what I consider my self-awareness
to be through personal experiences and memories,
gathered together in an eerie and often dark mood.
My images utilize the image of a little girl who
represents my true self as defined by not only my
native Korean culture and experiences, but also by
those I have encountered since coming to study
and live in the U.S. My work explores my realiza-
tion that life is not a fairy tale. The little girls in my
work wander into the quiet, yet hostile, environ-
ment of fairy tales gone wrong.
These pieces use sibling relationships as a meta-
phor to explore my experience as an expatriate
living in America. The abstract movement suggests
my wanderings and the uncertainty of life away
from home. These concepts allow me to research
my identity and cultural influences, while fostering
self-awareness. »

Artist Statement
I view my art as a tribute to those who have paved the way for
us; to those whose valor and sacrifice are our inheritance and
keepsake; to those who strive and constantly push us to rein-
vent ourselves. My art pays homage to all the works that have
challenged and enthralled me, works that have motivated
me to move forward and progress in my own life. My artistic
goals are analogous to the values I embraced in the Marine
Corps. Namely to increase discipline and gain the life experi-
ence necessary to realize one’s potential in both craft and
concept. Since leaving the Corps, every day I carry the same
focus. I am driven and determined to complete what I set out
to achieve. My goal as a student is to utilize the discipline I’ve
gained, and learn as much as possible to prepare myself for
the next level of life and education. »

My current body of work includes paper puppets in 2D animation
(featuring original music), paintings, installations and comics. For
supplies I use cardboard, unsolicited mail, free papers, whatever I can
dig out of the trash, street treasures, cans, my boyfriend’s milk jugs
and gifts of unused supplies. Poverty taught me, more than anything
else, how to be resourceful.
I am fascinated by commodity fetishism and the life cycle that objects
of desire have for those with credit or expendable income. The less
useful the product, the more exciting. In the past I collected action fig-
