June Yoo

Studying jewellery and metalworking, June Yoo is an artist/maker based in London. 

Finding the delicate balance between control and freedom, allowing the material itself to communicate and express its narrative in a poetic way. It involves the process of uncovering stories behind materials, mixing with personal interaction and inspiration, focusing on materiality and connecting/reconnecting with the narrative of the works. 

It is an itinerary, with the artist being embedded both physically and mentally into the works, adding layers of personal connection and originality, developing more nuanced and intimate relationships.

The Materiality of Memory

The project focuses on the idea of memory. Fragile, fluid, sometimes unexpective and invisible yet builds up one’s identity, shaping our existence. 

It can be described either as a whole, or as a cluster of moments. 

The process of melting pine rosin and seeing the process of a chunk of pine rosin turning into strings and piling up produces a meditative experience looking back into the past and a chance to interact and reinvent the relationship between our past and present.
