-Awe, 1996, wood, linoleum, house paint, 130 x 140 x 3 cm, Courtesy of Private Collection.
-Awe is a simple form of work depicting “-Awe,” a speech filler that embodies various interpretations such as surprise, hesitation, or else. It is drawn on linoleum, a common industrial material of that time. Clearly distinguished from traditional Hanji floor paper and neat calligraphy, the glossy vinyl, and shaky writing expose explicit and blatant forms of imitation we commonly see around us. Although the artist herself thought it was enjoyable to watch this casual situation, it allows open possibilities through the semantic void of “-awe.”
