Lee Choonyoung has developed her artistic attitude through everyday walks and sustained observation.
Early experiences in her childhood studio played a formative role in understanding art not as a separate realm from life, but as a way of being. Her subsequent practice has unfolded through experiences within academic and institutional contexts, encounters with critical discourse on art, and personal transitions in life. These layers of experience have provided a foundation for her practice to continuously expand beyond fixed forms.
A significant turning point came during her time in India. Through repeated walks and movement, nature was no longer perceived as a fixed object, but as a field in which life, time, and relationships overlap. Moments beneath banyan trees, passages through unfamiliar landscapes, and the everyday presence of teahouses and night air accumulated as layers of sensibility within her practice. This experience was later translated into terracotta and ink drawing, becoming a language of material and gesture. Clay and ink are not merely materials, but mediums that carry traces of time and the passage of life.
After returning to Korea, her practice has continued without rupture, unfolding in different forms. The boundaries between appearance and disappearance, surface and depth, remain unfixed and are constantly transformed within a state of flow. Her current work is closely aligned with the rhythms of nature—where creation and dissolution, accumulation and emptiness continuously repeat—existing as a condition of ongoing transformation and condensation.
