PARK MIWHA


박미화의 작품들은 분명 작가에게나 관객에게 새로운 작품이면서도 마치 발굴된 유물처럼 오래된 시간의 켜를 둘러쓰고 있다. 거기에는 진주조개가 조금씩 커 나가는 듯한 시간의 힘이 있다. 그러한 외양들은 작가가 인간사에 반복되는 보편적이고도 근원적인 문제에 천착하고 있음을 알려준다. 그 대상이 인간일 때, 이 시간의 흔적들은 상처, 그리고 상처가 아무는 시간들, 태어난 존재가 자라고 늙고 종국에는 죽어가는 시간들을 상징하게 된다. 박미화의 작품은 식물, 풍경, 인간 등 오래된 소재를 다루어서도 그렇지만 흙을 빚어 굽는 작업이나 기억이라는 주제에서 시간성이 느껴진다. 겹겹의 층으로 이루어진 대상들은 오래된 사물처럼 재차 반복해 해석해야 할 대상으로 나타난다.


It is apparent that the works Park Miwha completed over the course of the last few years are intended to have both the artist and the audience view them as idiosyncratic and stacked with layers of time like recently unearthed ancient relics. Her works have strength like growing pearl oysters. Such an outer appearance suggests that she occupies herself with universal and fundamental issues that are regularly raised in human affairs. When it comes to humanity, these traces of time can represent the moment when wounds and scars fade away or the time when one is born, grows up, gets old, and passes away. Her practice has addressed age-old subject matter such as plants, landscapes, and humans, and temporality can be sensed in both her work of kneading and firing clay and the subject of a memory.
