Please tell us a little bit about yourself. Age 40 and currently living in Los Angeles, California.

Tell me a little bit about your background. Born in South Korea, I received my MA in Studio Art at New York University in 1997. I currently live and work in New York City. My drawings have been exhibited in South Korea, the United States, and Europe  

How did you become interested in art? As far as I can remember I love to draw and paint, and also look at various visual images since I was little.

Before becoming an installation artist, what other mediums did you use? Cut canvas to spread on space, wire to draw in space, draw on papers with ink and pen (still do) and performance as well. By the way, I wouldn’t call myself an installation artist. To me the masking tape drawing that people call Installation, I call it Space Drawing or Sculptural Drawing.

Where did you get the inspiration to use black masking tape to create artwork? I found masking tape after my search of seeking directness of the action ‘to draw’ and one day the material masking tape pops in my mind. My work is “sculptural drawing” because it incorporates two-dimensional drawing on three-dimensional structures.
