Tiny Friends

Sunwoo Jung (1991) is a South Korean ceramic artist currently living and working in Amsterdam.

With a fascination for ceramics, and based on continued interest in everyday objects, she questions the functionality, efficiency, and clarity of the society. By reconfiguring found objects and combining them with ceramics, she wishes to purposefully deconstruct their functions and convert them into equivocal beings, or to create illusionary scenes in which the presence recalls absence, leading to the imagination.

The handmade Tiny Friends are an ever-growing group of ceramic miniature chairs. The procedure of Sunwoo creating miniature chair sculptures is similar to that of sewing garments. A comparable working procedure employing the slab-building technique was employed in constructing these ceramic chair miniatures, just as the volume generated from flat fabric by cutting and connecting the pieces of patterns and becoming the garments to carry a human body.
