Jiwon Lee

작가 소개

Jiwon Lee is a ceramic artist whose work begins with the most fundamental gesture of making—the touch of the hand.
Through the slow process of stacking coils of clay, her forms accumulate countless traces of touch, becoming quiet records of daily contemplation. These imprints are not erased but embraced, allowing the works to feel tender, alive, and deeply human.

Drawing inspiration from ancient forms such as animal-shaped tou figures and traditional earthenware, Lee reinterprets them with soft contours, natural wood-fired tones, and nuanced glazes. Her crystalline glazes, shimmering like moonlight, interact delicately with the layered surfaces to reveal depth, time, and atmosphere.

Lee’s ceramics often expand beyond functional objects, becoming sculptures, wall-mounted pieces, and light objects that transform space with playfulness and gentle vitality.
Whether standing on three legs, taking on animal forms, or illuminating a room with subtle light, her works embody an intimate harmony between clay, touch, and contemplation.

Through her practice, Jiwon Lee offers ceramics as vessels of emotion—objects that carry traces of the maker, evoke the softness of life, and quietly enrich the spaces they inhabit.
