WALK SLOWLY
By Kyong Boon Oh
Artist Statement
For artist Kyong Boon Oh, each of her artworks represents her journey of life,
walking one step at a time. Life is a pilgrimage. The transcendent end is hidden
in our own depths, waiting for the chance to occupy a conscious moment. She
tries to be in the moment by putting herself in the position of labour-intensive
repetition in a slow and meditative manner. This process
clarifies her mind and
releases her from the ambiguity of life. For Kyong, this sculpture is like a newly
discovered road, which is intertwined in complexity,
but in order.
