Tracing Memory (0n-going), 2016 -

Drawing on mylar paper
Tracing Memory is an on-going drawing project. I’m using personal photographs that are banal, yet hold significant meanings in my life. By tracing the outlines of the image, I am erasing the identification of people (features, ethnicity, gender, etc.) in the photographs and leaving only the surroundings visible. I am intrigued to see if the site/location/surrounding can offer enough information on the stories behind each photograph.

The act of tracing by hand is a slow and methodical, and intimate experience. In contrast, the drawings on a piece of metal are done by laser-cut technique, which is a fast and mechanical process. This process further erases details from the hand-traced drawings.


Tracing Memory 는 진행중인 드로잉 프로젝트다. 평범하면서도 내 인생에서 중요한 의미를 지닌 사진들 속의 이미지의 윤곽선을 따라 가면서 사진 속 인물 (특징, 인종, 성별 등)의 식별을 지우고 주변 만 보이게한다. 나는 사이트 / 위치 / 주변이 각 사진 뒤에있는 이야기에 대해 충분한 정보를 제공 할 수 있는지 궁금하다.
손으로 트레이싱 행위는 느리고 체계적이며 친밀한 경험이다. 반대로, 금속 판에 레이저 커팅으로 만든 드로잉은 빠르고 기계적으로 그려진다. 이 프로세스는 손으로 그린 윤곽선을 추가로 지운다.
