Embracing Nature
Dawn Landscape
By using the traditional material, Ottchil (Korean lacqure), the artist applied the modern techniques of adjusting the shades almost like watercolor on the glass. She wanted to capture the mezmerizing moment of the landscape of the foggy mountains and Jeju sea during her trip on her objects.
Other Works
From glass cups to ritual objects and flower vaes, the artist reinterpretates the objects with ottchil technique into modern still life items.
Ottchil, the Korean traditional lacquer technique
Ottchil can be referred to the Korean traditional lacquer technique of using organic sap from the varnish tree, Rhus Verniciflua Strokes, on various utensils and tableware. The natural extract from Rhus Verniciflua Strokes has been known for its strong sterilization power, prevention capacities and water resistence effects, and has been used for centuries.
