Pledge Yoon
Yoonji Lee
작가 소개
Yoonji Lee, the artist behind Pledge Yoon, explores the poetic interplay between metal, touch, and temperature. Her practice centers on copper vessels finished with a distinctive tin-textured surface—an alchemical process that enhances both visual depth and functional performance. This tactile skin of tin allows the material to retain coldness for longer, transforming everyday drinking rituals into sensorial experiences.
Every cup and bucket is shaped, textured, and patinated entirely by hand. The marks left through hammering, rubbing, and repeating gestures become a physical archive of the artist’s presence, making each piece singular and deeply personal. Lee invites users to discover a vessel that resonates with their own senses—one whose weight, grain, and subtle irregularities feel instinctively “right” in the hand.
Her work blurs the line between object and ritual tool. A wine bucket becomes a sculpture that can also hold fruit or flowers; a simple cup becomes a companion that heightens the moment of drinking through its material intelligence. Through metal, temperature, and touch, Yoonji Lee crafts objects that carry intimacy, atmosphere, and emotional depth into everyday life.
