Jin Sook So
Sweden, Japan, America and Korea´s past. I have lived and and studied in these contries, and I do not see myself as being confined to a single nationality or a single artistic medium. Each place has influnenced me in uniquence into my work in a manner that is both strikingly modern and original.
In the 1080s, I began treating metals, such as stainless steel mesh, as if they were textiles-bleaching, braiding, twisting and oxidizing them. I burnished the surfaces with gold, silver and copper nitrate, using brushes, blow torches, and wax to achieve different effects. For my work at the Lausanne Biennial in 1989. I worked directly with flat steel mesh, manually pleating it to create volume, repeatedly twisting the form, and coloring it with a blow torch.
My work has been exhibitioned extensiverly across Europe, Asia, and the United Stated.
