Kim Hyun Ja

  매일 산책을 하다보면 어제 강아지풀이 있던 자리에 오늘은 이름 모를 풀들이 자라고 있는 것을 발견 한다. 기억에서 잊혀 질 때 쯤 담장 밑, 개울가에서 여린 싹을 틔우고 자신의 존재를 알린다. 그리고 긴 겨울의 추위를 이기고 또 다른 강아지풀로, 이름 모를 풀로 자라고 진다. 자연은 누군가 알아주지 않아도 계속 되는 질서 속에서 무언가를 남긴다. 나는 식물을 직접 채집 하여 찍고 또 찍는다. 이렇게 지속적으로 찍다보면 수련의 과정이 되기도 한다. 수련의 과정이 되는 식물 프린팅작업은 자라고 죽는 자연의 반복적인 질서를 표현하고자 함이다.
  프린팅은 식물의 형태를 그대로 화면에 남기기도 하지만, 더 나아가 내가 꿈꾸는 세상과 식물이 갖고 있는 순간의 기억이 공존하는 이상의 세계를 다양 한 구성을 통해 표현하고자 한다. 문은 꿈으로 가는 통로이고, 작품에 표현 된 동물과 사물들은 현실과 꿈의 세계가 만나는 순간을 나타낸다.
