As I researched several contemporary artists and their interviews, I am particularly interested in the work and ideas of Do Ho Suh and Kiki Smith. For Do Ho Suh, I feel related to how he uses home and identity as the primary source of inspiration for his sculpture work. Viewers can acquire a better understanding of the Korean culture through some of his pieces like High School Uni-form (1997), in which he shows the Korean uniform style and the uniformity imposed on high school students in Seoul, or Some/One (2005), which is a reminiscence of his time serving in the military as an obligation for every Korean man. I’m also interested in how he incorporates both Western and Korean traditional architectural styles into his sculpture work to represent his migration to the US. That is an idea that I have always wanted to explore, and I think I can learn a lot from his methods of conveying cultures and identity. For Kiki Smith, I have gained a closer insight into her process of creating human figures and features. I’m interested in learning about her different techniques of casting human bodies, from making molds to carving out of wax. I think it will be a challenge to be able to recreate detailed, human-like features like her arts. These concepts and skills are all something that I want to explore and apply to my future works.
