I am a Brooklyn-based artist who works with photography, wood working and sculpture. My personal experiences have deeply influences my art practice and led me to explore the vulnerability and fragility of human. Through my practice, I visualize the fragility that I find. I make it tangible in order to confront it.
Simultaneously my instinct to withhold my weakness manifests in my works as shielded, veiled, fragmented, and distorted images which I achieved through stitching and sculpting. My current body of work lies in the illusion of three dimensionality of layered organza, which allows for topographical perspective on fragility. My work is a combination of my acceptance and resistance to my own vulnerability.
My strategy in using the organza to veil the images is not just a psychological strategy, but also an innovative growth in my approach to photography. I have found new and fresher ways to communicate through my art, particularly by stretching the boundaries of the two-dimensional form of photography and integrating I with the three dimensional possibilities of sculpture. I am constantly exploring the limits of my mediums to create new possibilities and push the boundaries of traditional mediums.
조수정 작가는 뉴욕과 뉴저지를 기반으로 활동하며 사진, 조각의 경계를 넘나드는 작업을 통해 인간의 연약함과 감정의 깊이를 시각화 한다. 개인적인 경험에서 출발해 드러내고 싶은 감정과 숨기고 싶은 본능 사이의 긴장을 탐구하며, 올간자 천을 겹겹이 쌓아 올린 입체적 구성을 통해 심리적 거리감과 시각적 깊이를 표현한다.
그녀의 작업은 사진과 평면성을 넘어 조각적 공간으로 확장하며, 이를 통해 전통적 매체의 경계를 허물고 새로운 감각적 경험을 제안합니다. 프랫 인스티튜트에서 사진으로 석사 학위를, 로드아일랜드 디자인 스쿨에서 그래픽 디자인으로 학사 학위를 받았으며 다수의 전에 참여했다. 최근에는 챌시의 갤러리와 AD Art Show 등에서 주목받았으며, 클리오 어워드 파이널리스트로 선정되었다. 현재는 뉴욕한인미술협회 사진분과위원장으로 활동중이다.
