Jaewon Laura Park

Jaewon creates animation as an expanded form of painting to explore the embodied experience of technology. Through her experiments of merging analog and digital artworks, she brings a sense of physicality into the moving image. Through her use of digital tools and tactile mediums such as painting, linocut, clay, and collected materials, she ponders the meditative liminal space where virtual and physical reality, global and traditional culture, and external and internal worlds collide. Her practice remedies the digitally mediated monoculture of the globalized world. Phenomenological encounters with local communities, environments, and traditions are translated into distinct aesthetic languages. Through this iterative process, she hopes to foster diverse visual scopes of perceiving and understanding the world.
