Opening at e1507
Hae Won Sohn, a process-driven sculptor and craftswoman based in Queens, NY, works at the intersection of drawing and sculpture, material and process. Her latest body of work invites viewers into a world where lines are etched rather than drawn, and sculptural forms emerge 2D materials in layered acts of carving, pouring, and imprinting. Inspired by Sanggam—a traditional Korean ceramic inlay technique—Sohn excavates and reveals textures embedded within plaster, treating surface as a site of tension, memory, and discovery.
Surface Tension blurs the boundaries between media, transforming plaster and pigment into rhythmic constellations of sketched marks, shapes, and pathways. In a graphite line or chiseled relief, Sohn’s practice elevates the physical gesture into a visual echo—each mark a record of encounter between tool and material.
