copper
55 x 45 x 35 cm
Oscillating between stillness and motion, the work's spatial and temporal layering is in uenced by Seo's relationship with time. In essence, time is her collaborator as observed in her usage of copper. Oxidation, which chemical shift occurs over a period of time, changes the shimmering luminosity of copper.
Through this process a deeper level of consciousness becomes embedded into each object. Then oils from Seo's fingers imprint her consciousness upon the material surfaces. Only after a course of time does her presence become revealed. The objects evolve from their original luminous state into aged presences.
