ARTIST STATMENT

 My artistic practice investigates glaze as an autonomous sculptural material. Rather than treating glaze as a surface coating applied to ceramic form, I explore its capacity to generate structure, space, and physical presence through its own material behavior.

Working with self-developed translucent glazes and multi-stage firing processes, I establish the initial conditions under which the material responds to heat, gravity, viscosity, and time. While the beginning of each work is intentionally constructed, its final form develops through the glaze's own transformation during firing.

My research examines how glaze can function as an independent sculptural material that generates its own spatial relationships through firing. Rather than serving ceramic form, glaze itself becomes the primary medium, revealing new possibilities for transparency, structural balance, and sculptural presence.
