Harin Song
Harin Song is a visual artist whose work scope varies, orbiting around her interaction with the innate raw qualities of materials like plastic, steel, and fiber. With a labor-intensive, craft-oriented manipulation of material, her work has the characteristics of crossing the categories of drawing, painting, textile art, sculpture, and installation. Repetition is apparent within her meditative, almost ritualistic art-making process.
She attempts to break the association between the natural physicality of an object and the meaning vested artificially throughout the history of human society. i.e., she melts acrylic paint to underscore its plastic physicality while maintaining its illusionary effect.
