Translated Vase no 8

Yeesookyung, 2012

Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, Bristol

Yeesookyung takes discarded ceramic fragments in her native Korea and pieces them together into new forms. By taking the ceramic waste of master potters and fusing them with gold leaf, Yeesookyung's work merges Korean ceramic tradition with Western Modernist bricolage.
