Heeyoun Cho
작가 소개
Heeyoun Cho is a ceramic artist who captures the ever-changing sky and translates its fleeting emotions into vessel forms. Observing the subtle shifts of light, color, and atmosphere, she gathers moments of the sky—each different in shape and hue despite being seen from the same place—and transforms them into a cohesive and poetic body of work.
Rather than refining or trimming the form, Cho finishes each piece with the natural movement of her fingertips, allowing the tactile traces of the hand to echo the organic flow of clouds across the sky. Through this intuitive process, the vessels embody the softness, unpredictability, and quiet drama of the sky’s daily transformations.
Her signature series, “One Sky,” explores how countless individual moments—bright or dim, calm or turbulent—ultimately converge into a single, expansive sky. Using glazes that flow freely in the kiln, she mirrors the way clouds drift and settle, creating surfaces where color blends naturally and time leaves visible traces.
Cho’s work invites viewers to pause and contemplate the simple yet profound beauty of the sky. Each piece becomes a small universe of light, movement, and memory—an intimate record of nature’s shifting rhythms, held gently in the form of clay.

ARTWORKS
The artist captures the ever-changing sky within the form of a vessel.
To naturally convey the boundless emotion she feels from the sky, she avoids cutting or trimming the final shape, instead completing it with the touch of her fingertips—allowing the form to embody the essence of nature itself.
The organic traces left by her hands express the shifting shapes of the sky, while the colors reflect the brightness and darkness of clouds as they appear in constant motion.

The series, created under the theme “One Sky,” captures different moments of the sky observed in the same place but at different times. Even in the same location, the sky takes on entirely different shapes and colors depending on the moment—or even at the same hour on the following day. By creating each piece individually and bringing them together in one place, a single, unified sky is finally completed.
This body of work expresses these variations in the sky through glaze applied over forms that share the same shape.

Working under the theme “One Sky – 2,” this series conveys the idea that the many different moments of the sky ultimately come together to form a single sky. The contrast between light and darkness suggests the passage of time.
Clouds and sky—elements without fixed shapes or defined colors—are expressed through glazes that flow naturally across the surface. The way the glaze melts and moves in the kiln, eventually settling into a single form, resembles the ever-changing yet unified sky we see in nature.
