Artist Statement: Joomi Chung
An image is a gap, an instance of entropy, a sensuous space. It is a place where senses flow and become an entity that observes and is simultaneously observed; that looks at the things in movement and becomes the movement itself. Remembered or forgotten, images become flesh and memory. They are inscribed in our body and flow out of it through words and gestures.
Signoscope-Signoscape V: Vortices are continuously unfolding fields of abstract marks in which images flow, overlap, converge, and transfigure each other forming and dissolving contents embedded in them. A vortex is the most complex state of consciousness where one order dissolves into a larger mixture of orders, generating an incessant transmutation of senses.
Creative activity is a complex mixture of intellectual, imaginary, physical and sensuous experiences, grasping and unfolding an aesthetic dimension. My work is an attempt, a gesture, for a gradual formation of a field of aesthetic experience, in which senses are liberated and imagination nurtured, freely spreading into the sphere of ordinary life. |

The Printmaking Program, the Digital Print Center, the University Gallery, and five of our MFA graduate students recently completed a very exciting collaborative project with artist Tom Friedman. An edition of large format prints, printed on Museo Portfolio Rag by Crane was editioned in May. |
