Jaeeun Kim
My works represent HTP objects which are widely used in Art Therapy, as a form of psychotherapy, to find clues about the person’s hidden emotions. Each vase describes a unique story of a “journey back home”

I’ve always loved robots, and I’ve always loved working with clay. After I finished my training as a potter, I started making robots out of clay. Claybots if you will.
