Her organic sculptures, inspired directly from nature, are made from weaving zip-ties (cable-ties) together. Sui Park's use of inexpensive, manufactured materials plays on the idea that while humans are capable of creating objects that mimic nature, unlike organisms, those physical entities remain static, and frozen in their potential evolution. The artist describes her work as “3-dimensional organic forms mostly and biomorphic shapes. They represent transitions and transformations in nature.” <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theartling.com/en/artzine/artist-month-november-2016-sui-park/|title=Artist of the Month: Sui Park|website=The Artling|access-date=2019-10-06}}</ref>

Early life and education

She holds a BFA (Magna Cum Laude) in Environmental Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD, and an MDes in Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI.

Career

[edit]

Themes

[edit]

Her organic sculptures, inspired directly from nature, are made from weaving zip-ties (cable-ties) together. Sui Park's use of inexpensive, manufactured materials plays on the idea that while humans are capable of creating objects that mimic nature, unlike organisms, those physical entities remain static, and frozen in their potential evolution. The artist describes her work as “3-dimensional organic forms mostly and biomorphic shapes. They represent transitions and transformations in nature.” [2]

Her work is often a collection and repetition of objects, placed in clusters on gallery floors and walls, in nature among plants, or traveling through space, recalling swarms of alien creatures or schools of fish.[3]

Awards and exhibitions

[edit]

Sui Park is the recipient of the 2018 Excellent Award, from the 5th Textile Art of Today, Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum, Slovak republic.[4] In 2018, she also received a New Works Grant from the Queens Arts Fund, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, for her site-specific installation Blue Print.[5]
